India is a tourist paradise. Given the country's rich cultural and historical history, diversity of environment, terrains, and natural beauty spots, tourism in India has significant potential. It is regarded as the most prominent and fastest-growing industry. Aside from being a substantial source of foreign exchange, tourism can generate many jobs. The tourism sector has become extremely unstable due to pandemics and infectious diseases. The COVID-19 froze the tourist industry worldwide, and countries worldwide, including India, proceeded to implement travel restrictions to prevent the virus from spreading. Finally, the tourism industry has suffered significant losses due to the severe epidemic of the new coronavirus. As the disease spread, officials in India imposed travel restrictions, social isolation, and a lockdown, effectively putting the country's tourism industry on hold. Travelers canceled their tours due to the virus concern, and agitation caused the tourist graph to plummet substantially. This study aims to determine the importance of the tourist sector in the Indian economy and assess the impact of COVID-19 on the Indian tourism industry.
