India has sent a strong message to China, which is wreaking havoc on the future of Indian youngsters. India has decided to cancel tourist visas for Chinese citizens. The International Air Transport Association-I.A.T.A. provided information to its member airlines to this effect. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) said in an April 20 directive referencing India that 'tourist visas granted to nationals of China (People's Republic) are no longer valid.' The IATA also stated that tourist permits with a 10-year validity period are no longer valid. The IATA is a multinational airline organisation with over 290 members who account for more than 80% of global air travel.
