India has been blessed with a geographical, cultural and linguistic diversity, which is so rich and varied that one will need a lifetime to explore each and every part of India. The tourism potential of India is immense and still to be explored fully. Each century has brought a new culture to Indian soil leading to a diversified commingling that has shaped modem India.
India is well known all over the world, for its ancient civilization and the artefacts recovered and being excavated till today, prove the genuineness of the claims.
The ancient history of our culture has left behind exquisite monuments and temples together with archaeological finds for the tourist who are interested in them. Besides this, our country has been blessed with natural scenic beauty, right from the coast lines and beaches to the majestic mountains and hill stations.
Tourism is a high-potential industry over the world and there are several economies which are totally based on the tourism industry for their survival. The amount of money involved and high value returns could be mind-boggling and India likely, would successfully develop an infrastructure conducive to the promotion of the tourism industry.
We are a people that believe in ‘Atithi Devo Bhava’, the credo of how we view our guests and that gives us an edge in the way we treat visitors to the country.
There are so many places of historical interest, heirlooms left over from the various centuries. From the mosques to the temples and churches, India is a living testament to its vast and varied religious heritage.
We have a qualified and experienced workforce and people who work across the spectrum of activities and hospitality offerings that meet every pocket size.
Being a democratic country, every religion in India has full liberty to celebrate its special festivals in which the entire country participates as a whole. For those, looking to just get away from the madding crowd, hill stations during summers, the sun-kissed beaches in winter and leisure tourism are the go-to options.
Given that it is still a developing economy, the country is still affordable to most tourists.
Over the years, medical tourism has also emerged as an extremely viable option, considering world-class facilities are made available at half the prices here, enabling more people to come to India for their healthcare.
Far flung areas also have better reach now due to better roads and railway connectivity.
Almost 11 million tourists visited India in 2019, growing by 3.2 % y-o-y. The railways introduced 153 new trains in 2019 which included modern semi-high speed trains like Vande Bharat, Tejas among others. Offering e-Visas, launching multi-lingual helplines for tourists and launching theme based tourist circuits are some of the other things the government has done.
