Tourism Industry

The Travel and Tourism industry holds remarkable potential for the Indian economy. Today, 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 the country

India witnessed more than 5 million annual foreign tourist arrivals and 650 million domestic tourism visits during 2009. The tourism industry in India generated foreign exchange earning of US $11.39 billion in 2009 and is expected to increase further during coming years.

The Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report – 2007 ranked tourism in India 6th in terms of price competitiveness and placed her 39th in terms of safety and security.

Cont…

The tourism industry requires a substantial investment and improvements in the infrastructure at all levels whether in cities or country as a whole.  The connectivity and quick facilitation from the airports, railway stations and city centres to Central Business Districts (CBDs) is the most critical factors as far as international

tourists’ arrivals are concerned. This means that we must have an all-inclusive infrastructure

development plan in place connecting hotels to destinations/ and attractions with reliable and better transport facility, ensuring safety and security, being managed by trained tourist police and

volunteers.

Concerns Shortage of trained human capital

Inadequate room-supply in big and small cities

Poor connectivity from cities to tourists attractions

Health and hygiene issues

The internal security, social and political unrest and
