indians stopped traveling to turkey due to Turkey's support for pakistan in the conflict between pakistan and india, which has severely affected the country's tourism industry. In particular, the share value of Turkish airlines has fallen by 10% in a single month. Following the pahalgam terrorist attack, india launched Operation Sindoor to attack terrorist camps and Pakistan's air force bases. During this attack, turkey announced that it was supporting Pakistan. After turkey openly declared its support for pakistan, many indian tourists canceled their tour plans to Turkey. Most indian tourists have canceled their flight tickets and accommodation reservations for the summer holidays in Turkey. The booking of flight tickets to turkey through the Make My Trip platform has decreased by 60 percent and the cancellation of already made reservations has increased by 250 percent.
Nishant Petty, the head of the Make My Trip platform, says that 2.3 lakh indians visited turkey in 2022 and this increased to 2.87 lakh in 2023. He says that each individual who can afford to travel to turkey has spent up to 1 lakh rupees each, which has improved the country's tourism industry.He says that in 2023 alone, indian tourists earned turkey three thousand crores of rupees. This year, due to Turkey's pro-Pakistan stance, most indians have canceled their travel plans. This has caused a major setback for the Turkish tourism industry, especially since the share value of Turkish airlines, which is owned by turkey, has fallen by about 10% in the last one month.

According to the value of the country's currency, the lira, the value of a share of Turkish airlines has now fallen from 312.75 liras in the same period last month to 279 liras. It is reported that the main reason for this is that various indian tourists have also canceled their travel tickets to Turkey.
