Abstract

The chapter examines the an intricate structure of moral, legal, and social ramifications must be navigated by stakeholders in India's hospitality sector as a result of the growing trends of prenatal tourism and birthright citizenship. In order to give birth within India's boundaries and provide their children the right to birthright citizenship under Indian law, pregnant parents—many of whom are foreign nationals—travel there for prenatal tourism. The hospitality industry, which includes hotels, resorts, and other lodgings that serve these visitors, is becoming more and more central to this phenomena, which raises important ethical questions about national security, cultural integrity, guest welfare, and regulatory compliance. It also depicts the unique set of ethical challenges of the hospitality industry in India with the rise of prenatal tourism and birthright citizenship. Along with that it also proposes pathways to decrease the problems related to prenatal tourism and birthright citizenship keeping in mind the different policies, laws imposed by the Government, India.
