Scam Crackdown Shift: Sri Lanka is seeing a sharp jump in arrests of suspected foreign cyber-scam workers, with police saying more than 1,000 foreigners have been detained since the start of the year—up from 430 in all of 2024—after crackdowns in Cambodia and Myanmar pushed networks to Sri Lanka, helped by easier visas and strong internet. Strategic Partnership Push: India and the Netherlands elevated ties to a “strategic partnership” after PM Modi met Rob Jetten in The Hague, with cooperation flagged across semiconductors, defence, green energy, tech and manufacturing—plus talks touching Strait of Hormuz closure and West Asia conflict spillovers. China Summer Travel Mood: China’s immersive cultural travel is accelerating ahead of the summer peak, with tourists leaning into hands-on heritage experiences like craft workshops. Air Travel Disruption: Air India is suspending ultra-long-haul US routes amid ongoing West Asia airspace uncertainty and record jet fuel costs. Local Tourism Planning: Andhra Pradesh officials inspected Chinaganjam beaches and outlined broader coastal development plans, while Thailand pursues a “ghost ticket” scam network after early real-ticket sales turned into losses for travelers.
