""When people stop coming, it spreads retail, logistics, everything. Dubai runs on visitors. Take that away and the whole machine slows down," said Kurian."
""Everyone is in the same situation. You cannot be angry at a war," Kurian told DW from the port city of Kochi, in southern India."
"Some 984,000 Indian nationals flew home between the outbreak of the Iran war in late February and mid-April, according to India's Ministry of External Affairs."
"Indians make up the largest expat community in the region, working in sectors ranging from construction and hospitality to logistics, retail and services."
The outbreak of the Iran war has led to significant disruptions in the Gulf region, affecting Indian workers like Meera Kurian, who lost her job due to falling hotel occupancy. The war has caused airspace closures, shipping disruptions, and stalled projects, leading to a decline in trade and tourism. With nearly nine million Indian nationals working in the Gulf, many have been evacuated, and the economic impact is felt across various sectors, including hospitality and logistics, as remittances to India are also affected.
