Free From Restrictions 29 Islands In Andaman And Nicobar

Are you planning to visit Andaman & Nicobar Island? Or have a wish to visit this place. So, here is the good news for you. The Union home ministry of India has removed 29 inhabited islands in Andaman and Nicobar from Restricted Area Permit (RAP) till December 31, 2022. This constructive step is taken to increasethe travellers andpromote tourism on the island. Now, due to this updating of RAP, you don’t need any prior permission from the government to visit these islands.
Earlier, the foreigners have to take permission to visit these islands.
“The decision has been taken to dispense with the RAP for foreigners visiting the Andaman and Nicobar to boost tourism and overall development of the island. These 29 islands are being developed into tourist attractions on the lines of popular South-east Asian beach destination," are the words of a ministry official.
