It is a trend, however minor. Countries that formally would rather chase away stinking Indians, are now a bit more open. With more money to spend on vacations and shopping, Indians are slowly becoming a group worth attracting. First, it was Sri Lanka, and then Malaysia followed, with their visa on arrival facilities for Indians.
The details even after months of the original announcement are a bit sketchy, especially so for Malaysia. A few sites talk about having a Singapore or Thai visa as a prerequisite.
Wonder if more countries will follow. I sure hope so. It would be nice if countries like Vietnam, Laos, Philippines, Namibia and Botswana did the same. There are thousands, make that tens of thousands, ready to go forth & explore.
India itself should unilaterally ease its visa policy for tourists, and medical visits. This should be extended to every country, with stricter fines on the airlines to cut unqualified visitors right at the source.
