Political unrest affecting tourism

About 200,000 domestic and international tourists cancelled or postponed their trip to the Taj Mahal in India in the past two weeks, one of the world's most popular tourist attractions. There has been a 60 per cent decline in tourist arrival in India in December 2019 following a number of protests since the enactment of the Citizenship Amendment Acts on 12 Dec.

The protests in Hong Kong triggered by the introduction of the Fugitive Offenders amendment bill by the Hong Kong government in March had also affected tourism, causing unemployment to many in the industry. Tourist arrivals fell by 43.7% compared to Oct last year.
