Tourism sector in UAE is hoping for a demand boost from India during the Eid and summer breaks have reasons to be worried by the COVID-19 surge sweeping through the country.

India isn’t the only South Asian nation to re-impose tougher measures, albeit partially. Bangladesh had earlier imposed a week-long air travel ban amidst a spike in COVID-19 cases.
