INTRODUCTION

Tourism in India

Tourism is the largest service industry in India, with a

contribution of 6.23% to the national GDP and 8.78% of the total employment in

India. India witnesses more than 5 million annual foreign tourist arrivals and 562

million domestic tourism visits.[1] The tourism industry in India generated about

US$100 billion in 2008 and that is expected to increase to US$275.5 billion by

2018 at a 9.4% annual growth rate.[2] The Ministry of Tourism is the nodal

agency for the development and promotion of tourism in India and maintains the

"Incredible India" campaign.

According to World Travel and Tourism Council, India will be atourism hotspot from 20092018,[3] having the highest 10-year growth

potential.[4] The Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Report 2007 ranked

tourism in India 6th in terms of price competitiveness and 39th in terms of safety

and security.[5] Despite short- and medium-term setbacks, such as shortage of

hotel rooms,[6] tourism revenues are expected to surge by 42% from 2007 to

2017

Role of Tourism Industry in India GDP


5/24

Role of Tourism Industry in India GDP has been quite alarming

since the past few decades. Tourism industry has contributed enormously in the

flourishing graph of India's economy by attracting a huge number of both

foreign and domestic tourists traveling for professional as well as holiday

purpose.

The tourism industry in India witnessed a stupendous growth in

2006. The growth in the inflows in India's tourism industry is calculated both in

terms of business and vacations. The number of foreign tourists arriving from all

over the world rose from 0.37 percent to 0.53 percent as has been stated by UN

World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) in the year 2006. This remarkable

growth in the graph of tourism industry in India popularized the entire South

Asia as one of the most spectacular tourist terminal. Indian tourism industry

contributes to around 5.9 percent of the country's GDP and it provides

employment to around 41.8 million of inhabitants.

Some of the most significant features of India's tourism industry or the Role

of Tourism Industry in India GDP have been listed below:

The percentage of foreign tourists in India has increased by 12.4 percent

in one year, that is, from 2006 to 2007. In 2006, Indian tourist industrywitnessed a growth of 14.3 percent, which reached around 3.89 million in

2007

The foreign tourists arrival led to a robust growth in the foreign exchange

earnings that increased from USD 5.03 billion during January-October


6/24

2006 to USD 6.32 billion during January-October 2007, which is

apparently a 25.6 percent rise.

Deeming the growing rate of the tourists arrival in the country, the Indian

tourism industry designed a wide spectrum of holiday packages and

cheaper airfares to attract more tourists.

Nonetheless, the outgoing graph of tourism industry in India is in no waylagging behind from the inbound one. People traveling from India to

abroad or states within India have increased by 25 percent.

The United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) has

estimated the outgoing tourists to reach around 50 million by the year

2020.

According to the European Travel Commission, the average expenditure

per trip of Indian tourists traveling abroad has increased from USD 611 in

2000 to USD 822 in 2006

The booming success of Indian tourism industry has led to a drastic

change in the hospitality department as well. The increase in the ratio of

tourists resulted in the increase of room rates and also setting up of a wide

range of hotels and other residing areas.


7/24

A number of international hotels such as the Hilton, Accor, Marriott

International, Berggruen Hotels, Cabana Hotels, Premier Travel Inn (PTI)

and Inter Continental Hotels groups have professed about making some

large-scale investments to append 65,000 additional rooms to suffice the

needs

India is most likely to set up forty hotels of global brands by 2011. The

hospitality segment in India is assumed to reach USD 11.41 billion in the

coming two years

Following are the few benefits ensured by the tourism industry in India GDP

in order to boost up the GDP of India:

The Indian tourism industry offers online booking system, one of the basic

proofs of technological advancement in this sector. These online bookings

are applicable for booking the air tickets via Internet by logging on to the

website and also booking the hotel room of the place to be visited

The online tourism industry has accounted for a turn over of USD 800

million which is apparently 14 percent of the entire travel and tourism

industry


8/24

The Role of Tourism Industry in India GDP also features medical tourism

that includes traditional therapies like yoga, meditation, ayurveda,

allopathy and other conventional systems of medicines is currently

estimated at USD 333 million and is most likely to reach USD 2.2 billion

by the year 2012.

Tourism Industry in India

Tourism industry in India is on a great boom at the moment. India has

tremendous potential to become a major global tourist destination and Indian

tourism industry is exploiting this potential to the hilt. Travel and tourism

industry is the second highest foreign exchange earner for India, and the

government has given travel & tourism organizations export house status.

The buoyancy in the Indian tourism industry can be attributed to

several factors. Firstly, the tremendous growth of Indian economy has resulted in

more disposable income in the hands of middle class, thereby prompting

increasingly large number of people to spend money on vacations abroad or at

home. Secondly, India is a booming IT hub and more and more people are

coming to India on business trips. Thirdly, aggressive advertising campaign

"Incredible India" by Tourism Ministry has played a major role in changing the

image of India from that of the land of snake charmers to a hot and happening

place and has sparked renewed interest among foreign travelers.

Travel & tourism industry's contribution to Indian industry is immense.

Tourism is one of the main foreign exchange earners and contributes to the

economy indirectly through its linkages with other sectors like horticulture,


9/24

agriculture, poultry, handicrafts and construction. Tourism industry also

provides employment to millions of people in India both directly and indirectly

through its linkage with other sectors of the economy. According to an estimate

total direct employment in the tourism sector is around 20 million.

Travel & tourism industry in India is marked by considerable government

presence. Each state has a tourism corporation, which runs a chain of hotels/ rest

houses and operates package tours, while the central government runs the India

Tourism Development Corporation.

In the year 2002, the Government of India announced a New Tourism Policy togive boost to the tourism sector. The policy is built around the 7-S Mantra of

Swaagat (welcome), Soochanaa (information), Suvidhaa (facilitation), Surakshaa

(security), Sahyog (cooperation), Sanrachnaa (infrastructure) and Safaai

(cleanliness).

Some of the salient features of the Tourism Policy are:

The policy proposes the inclusion of tourism in the concurrent list of the

Constitution to enable both the central and state governments to

participate in the development of the sector.

No approval required for foreign equity of up to 51 per cent in tourism

projects. NRI investment up to 100% allowed.


10/24

Automatic approval for Technology agreements in the hotel industry,

subject to the fulfilment of certain specified parameters.

Concession rates on customs duty of 25% for goods that are required for

initial setting up, or for substantial expansion of hotels.

50% of profits derived by hotels, travel agents and tour operators in

foreign exchange are exempt from income tax. The remaining profits arealso exempt if reinvested in a tourism related project.

Apart from this, government has taken several other measures for the promotion

of tourism. A multi-pronged approach has been adopted, which includes new

mechanism for speedy implementation of tourism projects, development of

integrated tourism circuits and rural destinations, special capacity building in the

unorganized hospitality sector and new marketing strategy.

The outlook for travel industry in India looks extremely bright. India

as a tourism destination is the toast of the world at the moment. Conde Nast

ranked India amongst the top 10 tourist destinations. JBIC ranked her as the fifthmost attractive investment destination. Besides, India is probably the only

country that offers various categories of tourism. These include history tourism,

adventure tourism, medical tourism (ayurveda and other forms of Indian

medications), eco tourism, cultural tourism, rural tourism, religious/pilgrimage

tourism, spiritual tourism, and beach tourism etc.


11/24

What are the economic importances of tourism industry in south

Asia?

The Asia and Pacific region will be the focus of the worldwide tourism industry

in the new millennium. Over the last decade, tourist arrivals and receipts rose

faster than any other region in the world, almost twice the rates of industrialized

countries. Between 1980 and 1995, tourist arrivals and receipts in the Asia

Pacific region rose at an average annual rate of 10% and 15% respectively,

higher than any region in the world (World Tourism Organization 1996a).

Statistics from the World Tourism Organization (WTO) for 1996 show that

tourist arrivals and receipts accounted for a 15.2% and 19.4% share of the

world's total respectively, a significant increase from 1985 as shown in Tables I

and 2 (WTO 1997a). The Asia Pacific region has been gaining market share at

the expense of the Americas and European regions, which saw a decline in their

respective shares during the same period. The WTO 1996b) projects that by the

year 2010, the region will surpass the Americas to become the world's number

two tourism region, with 229 million arrivals. It is an indication that the growth

of tourism in the Asia Pacific region in the next decade will be nothing short of

spectacular.

Mass travel, which first began in the 1950s when millions of

Americans and Europeans traveled the world, has blossomed in Asia. The region

is now regarded as a major generator and receiver of tourism. A wealthy new

middle class of Asians are taking to the skies and joining their European and

American counterparts on their pleasure, business, and adventure trips around

the globe. The rapid growth of the tourism industry has been attributed to a

number of factors including among others, strong economic growth, increase in


12/24

disposable income and leisure time, easing of travel restrictions, successful

tourist promotion, and a recognition by the host governments that tourism is a

powerful engine of growth and a generator of foreign exchange earnings.

It is the purpose of this paper to provide a basic discussion of the

economic importance of tourism and review the major trends that shaped the

growth and development of the tourism industry in the Asia Pacific region. A

comparison of the tourism industry performance will also be made between

selected Asia Pacific countries, and with other regions of the world, to highlight

the trends and changes. The definition of the Asia Pacific region in this paper

corresponds to the definition used by the WTO which includes North-East Asia,

South-East Asia, and Oceania.

Economic Importance of Tourism in Asia Pacific

Tourism is one of the most important sectors in the economies of

Asia Pacific countries. Currently, tourism is the most important sector and major

source of foreign exchange earnings in Thailand, Australia, and New Zealand. It

is ranked second in Hong Kong, Malaysia and the Philippines, and ranked third

in Singapore and Indonesia. For example, in New Zealand, the tourism industry

employs more than 200,000 people, with projections of a 14% annual growth till

the year 2000 (Chan 1995). In Hong Kong, tourism employs 12% of the

workforce and contributes about 7% to the economy (Boxall 1996). The tourism

sector in Thailand supports over 1.5 million jobs and contributes 5% to the

economy (Asian Business 1996). Tourism is also gaining importance in China.

By the year 2000, China expects to receive 55 million visitors with foreign


13/24

exchange earnings of US$14 billion, which will contribute 5% to China's

economy, making tourism one of the most significant components of the national

economy (Beria 1996). In Singapore, the healthy overall balance of payments is

attributed to the huge surplus achieved by the tourism sector which contributes

about 10% to the economy (International Monetary Fund 1996a). Despite

Singapore's open economy, and its vulnerability to external shocks and import

leakages, tourism has made a significant contribution to output, employment,

and income.

Based on 1988 input-output tables, Khan et al. (1995) estimated

that tourism contributed 11.9% to Singapore's GDP (Gross Domestic Product) in

1992, while employment accounted for 13.4% of the labor force. The

employment effect of a million dollars in tourist expenditures would create 25

new jobs. The results ts showed that every dollar of tourist expenditure would

generate S$1.97 of output and S$1.05 in income. The income multiplier for

tourism was larger when compared to Hong Kong, Indonesia and Malaysia,

while the tourism output multiplier was greater relative to other sectors of the

Singapore economy.

Comparisons with previous studies (Schymyck 1983; Toh and Low

1990) showed an increase in the contribution of tourism over time, a strong

indication of the significance of tourism in the Singapore economy. The

estimated economic impact of tourism is also significant in South Korea.

According to Lee and Kwon (1995), the total impact of tourism receipts of

US$4.7 billion in 1993, generated US$11.7 of output, US$2.4 billion in income,

and created 350,000 full time jobs. The secondary impacts were also found to

have a considerable effect on the economy. The findings suggested that tourism

should be promoted as a strategic export industry.

It is no surprise that the key to the success of tourism in the AsiaPacific region is a clear recognition by the host governments of the important


14/24

role of tourism in the economic development of the country. Tourism serves as

an important means to increase economic growth, raise the quality of life, create

employment, and improve the overall balance of payments by helping to offset

deficits in other sectors. Many Asia Pacific countries show a net surplus in their

tourism balance of payment account as shown in Table 3 (WTO 1997a; IMF

1997). Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea are major tourist generating countries in

the region and this is reflected by the deficits in their respective travel balance of

payments accounts. Mak and White (1992) attributed the travel account deficits

for these high income countries to a higher allocation of disposable income to

leisure travel. The relaxation of travel restrictions in Taiwan also had a

significant impact on its travel account, due to the large increase in outbound

travel. On the other hand, China, Thailand, and Singapore are major receivers of

tourists, enjoying a huge surplus. As a percentage of exports, tourism contributes

more than 13/n to the economies of Australia, New Zealand, and Thailand, again

reflecting its ranking as the top export. Its contribution to the GDP is

significantly greater in Singapore (10%) and Hong Kong (7%).

Almost all Asian nations are committing substantial manpower and

resources to attract more arrivals whose expenditures represent significant

contributions to national income and foreign exchange earnings. For example,

Singapore has unveiled a new tourism blueprint titled "Tourism 21" that is

expected to turn the nation into a world class tourism business center and the

tourism capital of the East. Plans call for increasing arrivals and receipts by

6.4% and 6.6% annually to 10 million and US$11.4 billion, respectively, by the

year 2000 (Boey 1996). Even Indonesia and Malaysia have raised their

commitments towards developing the tourism sector. Indonesia plans to make

tourism the nation's number one foreign exchange earner by the year 2004, when

arrivals will hit 11 million and receipts reach US$15 billion from current levels

of 4.3 million and US$5.4 billion, respectively (Travel Trade Gazelle 1997). In


15/24

the current Seventh Malaysia Plan, which ends in the year 2000, a number of

strategies were formulated to turn tourism into a top revenue earner for the

country. Millions of dollars will be allocated for tourism infrastructure in an

effort to increase arrivals and receipts to 12.5 million and US$6.3 billion,

respectively, by the end of this decade (Pacific Area Travel Association News

1996). With increasing competition for the tourist dollar, the national tourism

organizations of New Zealand, Thailand, Australia and Hong Kong, among

others, have also allocated an increase in tourism funding to tap the emerging

tourism markets that promise new income and employment opportunities.

Tourism Growth Factors

A number of factors are responsible for the rapid growth and

development of the tourism industry in the Asia Pacific region. These include

the strong economic growth , increase in income, breakdown of political

barriers, easing of travel restrictions, liberalization of air transport, and focused

marketing campaigns. These factors are expected to accelerate the growth of

tourism over the next decade.

Economic Growth

The rapid growth of the tourism industry is a reflection of the

region's booming and diversified economies. Economic growth has ranged

between an average of 6% to 9% in the last decade, in contrast to 3% to 4%

growth achieved by the rest of the world. Only the industrialized countries of

Australia, Japan, and New Zealand show a lower rate of growth than the rest of

the region. China, which has achieved double-digit growth over the last 5 years,

is poised to become one of the world's largest economies and surpass Japan in


16/24

the next decade. The region is expected to maintain its growth at a rate between

6% to 8% over the next decade (IMF 1996b).

Strong economic growth in Asia is attributed to a focus on

market reforms, export oriented industries, stable currencies, diversification of

the economy, and massive injection of foreign capital. Billions of dollars are

being poured into the tourism infrastructure to accommodate a burgeoning Asian

tourism industry. This has intensified trade, investment, and travel within the

region and with the rest of the world. Asian governments have also sought to

avoid extremes of inflation and unemployment, and are keeping budget deficits

small or running surpluses.

ARTICLE ANALYSIS

Laszlo Horvath, founder of ActiveMedia, a global online search,

advertising and media agency and a digital marketing authority, and former

strategic consultant to American Online (AOL) will next month deliver a

workshop on search engine maximisation to ADTA's stakeholders, partners and

marketing professionals within the Travel and Tourism Agencies Council

(ATTAC).

Horvath, a much sought-after international speaker on online marketing,

branding, internet strategy and advertising, will guide Abu Dhabi's tourism

professionals on ways to increase and upgrade their knowledge of search engines

as product search and visibility tools on the information super highway.

The Hungarian-born Harvard Business School graduate and founder of

CEO Clubs International, who uses his award-winning company to place his

clients on top of search engines' results, says increasingly tourists are now

relying more on search engines to find and buy their travel products.

"The touch point for new customers is not a company's website: it is the

result pages of the search engines," said Horvath. "I hope to show Abu Dhabi's

tourism professionals how to improve their digital footprint and increase their


18/24

search engine optimisation. "It is not enough to have a website on the internet, it

also has to be visible."

Horvath added that many businesses are not yet aware of the importance

of search engines, their benefits and ways of maximising their business digitally.

"Companies should use search engines to drive web traffic to their

website, increase sales locally and internationally to improve revenues, as well

as learn to control and protect their digital footprint and reputation on 'alien

territory'," he said. "In essence we will focus on turning websites from cost

centre to profit generators by increasing visibility, sales and ultimate profit."

Horvath's workshop, part of a Business Breakfast Briefing programme

launched by ADTA's Professional Development Team, will be held on May 10.

"This course is quite a coup for ADTA and the industry. To learn from a

speaker of Laszlo's calibre is an opportunity the industry's marketing, sales and

public relations professionals would be remiss to forego. We are pushing the

boundaries with our breakfast sessions touching on issues which not only

improve the industry's service offering but its ability to effectively communicate

with, and sell to, the end-user. These are briefings with a distinct business ROI,"

said Paul Ram Prakash, ADTA's Industry Professional Development Manager.

Indian Tourism industry is one of the most important export

industries of the country. Although the international tourist inflow is relatively

low, India has found tourism emerging as an important sector of its economy.

Tourism yields substantial foreign exchange for India. It is turning into

a volume game where a large number of participants are contributing to the

revenue of the industry. Segments such as hotels, tour operators, airlines,

shipping etc., are significant contributors to this revenue.

With lot of imagination and ideas the Indian tourism sector is

gathering momentum and is set to have not only large numbers of foreign

tourists but also make a big share in the countrys Gross Domestic Product

( GDP ). Recent statistics have revealed that during the first quarter of 2006, the

performance of the tourism industry has been very encouraging which has

registered an 11% increase in foreign tourist arrivals.

RNCOS recent market research report, Indian Tourism IndustryOutlook ( 2006 ) draws a colorful picture about the future of Indian tourism as

its share of employment is expected to account 10%, including self-employment.
