Because the large majority of tourists coming to the Andamans are Indian nationals, this island paradise has been relatively unknown as an interesting destination for many international travelers. In recent years the scenic wonders, remoteness of the islands and their ‘off-the-grid’ natural beauty has been attracting more active adventurers, couples looking for a romantic location and families who want to share once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Foreign visitors will find that the Andaman Islands are a wonderful vacation location, thanks to the efforts of the Indian government to support the expanding tourism industry throughout the islands.
