Amidst tensions between India and Pakistan, travel companies ixigo, EaseMyTrip, Cox & Kings have taken strict measures with their offerings against countries China, Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Uzbekistan.
This move comes after Turkey and Azerbaijan's foreign ministries criticised the Indian Armed Forces' launched Operation Sindoor and backed the claims made by Pakistan that the operation affected civilian areas.

Sometimes, a pause becomes a necessity.
In light of the current national sentiments, we’re putting a temporary hold on all new travel to Azerbaijan, Turkey, and Uzbekistan.
Even though respect and understanding of the world remain at the heart of everything…
Few days back, luxury rental vacations in Goa, Goa Villas, and Go Homestays, Indian travel and accomodation brand too expressed their support to India. The former took the decision of not offering accomodation services to Turkish citizens, and the latter ended its partnership with Turkish airlines.
Due to Turkey's non-cooperative stance in the current global scenario involving India and Pakistan, we’ve decided not to offer any accommodation services to Turkish citizens in Goa. We stand firmly with our nation.
