New Delhi - MENA
Have the Delhi gang-rape protests set off a
travel scare among foreign tourists? Both the United States and United
Kingdom have reviewed their travel advisories asking their citizens to
avoid central Delhi and monitor news to avoid demonstrations, Times of
India reported.
The advisories were revised on December 29 following the death of the
rape victim in Singapore.
While the travel industry has not reported any cancellations, the
spontaneous protests and clamping down of movement in central Delhi has
set off several anxious calls from tourists to the India tourism offices
across the globe.
Sources said that there had been several queries, from UK, US and
Australia, regarding travel to India.
In its advisory US state department has said, \"Even demonstrations
intended to be peaceful can turn violent. Please avoid the areas where
demonstrations are occurring and exercise caution if within the vicinity
of any large gatherings. Please stay current with media coverage of local
events, be aware of your surroundings, and practice personal security
