The Andaman and Nicobar Islands have seen a steady increase in tourist arrivals in recent months, with officials reporting higher footfall at key destinations such as Cellular Jail, Havelock Island, and Neil Island. The growth reflects continued interest in domestic island tourism, even as authorities emphasize sustainable and responsible travel. Visitor numbers have surged particularly during weekends and holiday periods, with travelers opting for advance bookings and shorter, well-planned itineraries.
Popular Attractions Driving Andaman Tourism
Key attractions, including historical landmarks and pristine beaches, have recorded higher visitor numbers. Ferry services connecting the islands are also in strong demand during peak days, leading to fuller passenger loads and tighter schedules.
The local administration has increased monitoring at high-traffic areas to manage crowds and reduce environmental stress. Steps are being taken to regulate visitor movement and ensure tourism does not harm the fragile island ecosystem.
Authorities continue to urge tourists to follow eco-friendly practices, such as avoiding littering, respecting marine life, and adhering to local regulations designed to protect the natural environment.
Hospitality and Transport Sector Response
Hotels, homestays, and tour operators have reported improved occupancy levels, while flights and inter-island ferry services are operating near full capacity during busy travel periods. Officials advise travelers to book accommodation and transport in advance and follow safety and environmental guidelines. Additional measures may be introduced if visitor numbers continue to rise.
