An Insight Into Indian Tourism Sector

Abstract

Researchers have observed that Indian Tourism is a potential source of employment generation which will help in sustainable development of the country. India exploits around 0.6% from the world tourism sector which contributes around 6.23% to the country GDP presently. Blessed with a lot of tourist destinations rooted in the hill stations, waterfalls, historic places, artistic craftsmanship and temples of all religions, it has not been able to become the cynosure for the citizens across the world. The reasons could be attributable to inadequate tourism information, relatively inadequate growth of hotel and travel industry etc. Under the backdrop of such issues, this paper while putting an insight into the development of tourism in India will make an attempt to examine the place of India in The World Tourism map.
