This has pushed several governments to insist on travel health insurance for visiting their countries so as to minimize these incidents. This will hugely impact many Indian tourists, corporate executives and students who have deferred their foreign trips due to Covid-19 but will need to travel overseas soon.
Along with proof of travel medical insurance many countries are also implementing Covid testing documents while allowing visitors to their countries. See of the countries that mandate travel insurance with COVID coverage for entry include (this list is fast changing). Schengen countries, Thailand, Dubai, Russia, Qatar, Cambodia....
As Indians are getting more affluent, they seek to broaden their horizons and are taking to travel overseas in a very big way. Dubai has emerged as the most popular destination for Indian tourists of late. In 2014, Dubai overtook Thailand as the highest tourist attraction. For Dubai, India has overtaken the UK to become the second highest source of tourists after Saudi Arabia.
Along with Dubai, there are other popular tourist attractions in the middle east for Indians. These include Abu Dhabi, Qatar and Oman. Saudi Arabia remains the most important destination for religious tourism outside India.
South East Asia with Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Bali (Indonesia) and Hong Kong are other popular attractions for Indians in Asia.
