Russian authorities have declared India unsafe for travelling and among the reasons they gave terrorism was absent but "ugly incidents" in Goa were mentioned as a cause for the heavy blow to Indian tourism, leading to grave speculation.

4. Japan

Strictly advises women, alone or in a group, against travelling to India.

The rape of Japanese tourists in Jaipur and Bodhgaya earlier this year sparked off outrage in the country and led to a travel advisory being issued warning women from travelling to India. Even private tour operators in Japan discouraged women from choosing India as a tourist destination saying, “If you are female, even as a group, we advise you not to travel to India unless absolutely necessary.”

5. China

Concern over security of women travelling to India after rising incidents of rape.

Much like Japan, the Chinese regime and private tour operators alike are telling people and especially women to avoid travelling to India which has been popular because of Buddhist holy sites. The public is also reportedly showing less interest in flying to India since India's image as a country with a rape epidemic has dealt a blow to tourism. Earlier, China had issued a travel advisory against India when the country was gripped with protests over fuel prices.
