Sex attacks reduce tourism in India

One example of these attacks was the rape of a 23-year-old Indian student by six men on a bus in New Delhi, shocking India and the rest of the world. The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India says the incidents have raised concerns about the safety of female travellers to the country. Nearly 72 per cent of tour operators have reported a number of cancellations in the last three months by female visitors from countries such as Canada, the United States and Australia.
