The Indian Association of Tour Operators (IATO), the leading national organization for tour operators, affirms its unwavering support for the Indian Armed Forces and stands in solidarity with the nation in the fight against terrorism and those nations that support it. As committed citizens, we uphold national integrity, peace, and responsible tourism practices.
In light of the recent conflict between India and Pakistan, the open support extended by Turkey and Azerbaijan to Pakistan, a known promoter of terrorism, including Turkey’s military aid, is a matter of serious concern. We strongly urge the Government of India to take decisive diplomatic action, including the issuance of travel advisories against countries that continue to directly or indirectly support or assist Pakistan.
We believe that travel transcends mere economic activity; it reflects a nation’s values and ethical principles. As responsible stakeholders in the tourism industry, we advocate for India to convey a strong message to the international community that any support for terrorism, regardless of its guise as financial or humanitarian aid, is unacceptable.
IATO remains united with the nation and supports all decisions that safeguard India’s sovereignty and honor. We call upon our members to carefully consider the destinations they promote, aligning their endeavors with the prevailing national sentiment and demonstrating their solidarity with our armed forces and the values they defend.
