Impact of terror incidents on the Foreign Tourist Arrivals in India: an econometric exploration
by Manas Bhattacharya, Kaushik Basu
International Journal of Tourism Policy (IJTP), Vol. 3, No. 3, 2010

Abstract: Important tourist locations and gateways in India have suffered recurrent terrorist attacks. However, a quantitative analysis of the impact of such incidents on Foreign Tourist Arrivals (FTAs) in the country is lacking. This paper explores the effects of terror incidents in India on FTAs and the durability of such impacts using econometric tools of analysis. It is expected that the findings will be helpful for policy-makers to understand to what extent the campaigns launched by them in the aftermath of terror strikes succeed in restoring the confidence of the potential tourists and thereby in winning them back to travel to India.
