The Outbound Tour Operators Association of India (OTOAI) expresses its unwavering support for the brave men and women of the Indian Armed Forces who safeguard the sovereignty and security of the nation.
In response to recent developments and credible concerns regarding international financial and political backing being extended to Pakistan—a country known for harboring terrorist elements and promoting cross-border extremism—OTOAI strongly opposes the latest IMF bailout to Pakistan. The association warns that such funding risks being misused to further terrorism, destabilize the region, and threaten global peace.
President, Outbound Tour Operators Association of India , Himanshu Patil shares
“OTOAI urges the Government of India to take decisive diplomatic action, including issuing travel advisories against nations that directly or indirectly support or aid Pakistan.
Travel is more than an economic activity; it reflects a nation’s values and ethical stance. As responsible stakeholders in the tourism industry, OTOAI believes India must send a strong global message that any form of support to terrorism—whether through financial aid or under the guise of humanitarian assistance—is unacceptable.
Standing firmly with the Indian Armed Forces, OTOAI reaffirms its commitment to national integrity, peace, and responsible international engagement.
The association also appeals to all Indian travelers and tour operators to make informed travel decisions that align with national interest.”
