Agra tourism industry demands restoration of foreign tourist traffic to India

With the tourist season in Agra having begun on October 1 and Covid cases under control, the local tourism industry is now hopeful that foreign tourist traffic to India will be restored by the end of the month.

A two-year record for the most number of daily visitors at the Taj Mahal in Agra was broken on Sunday, according to a senior official in the Archaeological Survey of India.

About 30,000-35,000 people visited the Taj Mahal in a single day on Sunday. In the past year, the Taj Mahal was shut for many months due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
