90% Dip In Foreign Tourists At Delhi's 3 Heritage Sites

Though two of Delhi's World Heritage Sites, the Qutub Minar and the Red Fort, were among the top 10 most popular ticketed and Archaeological Survey of India-protected monuments visited by foreigners in 2021-22, the rush of tourists was far less than in pre-Covid days. However, in this financial year, the footfall of foreign tourists has gone up.

According to available data from the Union tourism ministry, there was a 90% decline in foreign tourist footfall at the World Heritage Sites in Delhi in 2021-22 when compared with 2019-20. ASI's Delhi Circle has around 174 monuments, including Qutub Minar, Red Fort, and Humayun's Tomb.
