Indian authorities have announced the resumption of direct flights between New Delhi and major cities in mainland China. The decision comes into effect at the end of October and has already sparked heated discussion in the tourism industry. Experts note that the restoration of air travel will bring significant benefits not only to businesses and academic exchanges, but also to tourism. In recent years, travel between the two countries has been limited, and a sharp increase in travel is now expected.

This opens up new opportunities for tourists: Chinese travelers will be able to more easily visit Indian cultural and spiritual centers such as Varanasi, Agra, and Kerala, while Indian tourists will gain access to popular Chinese destinations such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Xi'an. Tour operators have already begun offering combined itineraries that include historical monuments, culinary tours, and modern metropolises. Airlines are also planning special fares for students and group travelers. The resumption of flights will also have a positive impact on neighboring countries, as transit routes through India and China will become more accessible. For travelers, this means lower ticket prices and a wider choice of destinations.
