Foreigners put discovery of India on hold after note ban

On Shortage of valid currency notes in india has forced several foreign clients, both corporates companies and tourists to either cancel their plans or put them on hold, sources say. The Foreign travelers also have to pay an additional charge on the payment cards used. And the foreigners prefer to have liquid cash in hand while travelling as they prefer visiting traditional markets instead of malls where plastic money can easily be used.

Arvind Jaiswal, manager at Caper Travel Company Private Limited, which caters to inbound tourism from 16 countries, said that Foreign tourists who have already returned to their countries from India have gone with a bad impression due to the currency gnaw. We did receive a few requests for cancellations from foreigners, who had booked earlier, but somehow we managed to keep their plans intact.
