This document analyzes the impact of terrorist attacks on tourism in India. It finds that terrorist attacks led to a 3.3% decline in foreign tourist arrivals between 2008 and 2009. Monthly growth rates of foreign tourists were negative in the first few months after the 2008 Mumbai attacks. While some argue terrorist sites have become a new form of "dark tourism", safety concerns and new visa regulations overall hurt India's tourism industry following major attacks.
