Express News Service NEW DELHI:  The government’s decision to issue free visas to 5 lakh tourists has been widely welcomed by India’s Covid-hit tourism sector. However, the industry believes that the scheme should be extended by up to 2 years against the stipulated deadline of March 31, 2022.   “After almost 15 months of the pandemic, the formal recognition that Indian Tourism, travel & hospitality is under stress and requires structured support is a first step and can be augmented. While the waiver of 5 lakhs tourist visas is a positive, it should be extended till  2023-24 or till at least all pre-pandemic tourist business is restored,” said Aashish Gupta, Consulting CEO, FAITH (Federation of Hotel & Restaurant Associations of India).
