Tour operators in India expect a spurt in the number of travellers to the UK and Europe as a sharp fall in the British pound (GBP) value may make these destinations cheaper post Brexit. This would mean that travelling to the UK will be cheaper for Indians. Brexit might have brought bad news for Indian IT companies and the Indian stock market investor, but for the Indian tourist it has spelt a bonanza. However, it is too early to establish that a weakness in pound will be sustained and we are yet to see any surge in travel bookings to the UK. Yatra.com President Sharat Dhall said: “Brexit has resulted in a big drop in the value of the pound and if this trend remains then we could see a surge in leisure tourism to Britain, as it will become significantly cheaper.
