tHERE ARE MANY COUNTRIES INTHE WORLD WHERE THE SHARE OF TOURISM INGDP IS VERY HIGH. wHERE TOURIST SPOTS ARE NOT THERE U HAVE OT SPEND LOT OF MONEY TO CREATE ONE.

INDIA HAS GOT SO MANY TOURIST SPOTS WHICH REQUIRE LITTLE INFRASTRUCTURE. UNLIKE OTHER INDUSTRIES  ONCE THE PLACES ARE SPOTTED.THRY THEMSELF CREATE EMPLOYMENT SUCH AS HOTELS, TAXI OPERATORS, SMALL TIME HAWKERS RTC.,

BY PUBLISIING  THE IMPORTANCE OF THE PLACE,  HISTORICAL,ARCHITECTUAL ETC THE PLACES CAN BE TURNED INTO GRAT TOURISM SPOTS.

iN EACH AND EVERY DISTRICT OF INDIA THERE ARE PLACES OF IMPORTANCE  DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION SHOULD PICKUP SUCH PLACES AND CREATE NECESSARY INFRASTRUCTURE  AND PUBLICITY THEY CAN LEAD TO TOURIST SPOTS.

Agreed Makrand, but just wish to write here as what what pathetic conditions I have just witnessed.

I just had been to Jaiselmer & I saw everywhere signs of people spitting tobacco in a centuries old fort which is a specially a foreign tourist attraction who are giving us valuable foreign currency & will share their experiences when go back.

I felt deeply a sense of shame & I think something must be urgently done to prevent our national heritages as from prevent happening Taj Corridor to such pathetic acts.

Tourism in India is the largest service industry, with a contribution of 6.23% to the national GDP and 8.78% of the total employment in India. India witnesses more than 17.9 million annual foreign tourist arrivals and 740 million domestic tourism visits. The tourism industry in India generated about 100 US$ billion in 2008 and that is expected to increase to US$275.5 billion by 2018 at a 9.4% annual growth rate.[1] In the year 2010, 17.9 million foreign tourists visited India. Majority of foreign tourists come from USA and UK.

Vinoy I am in total agreement with you. India is a beautiful country and has the potential to become a hot spot of tourism provided the Government spend some money on infrastructure. It will be one of the highest foreign exchange earner in time to come, provided the government act as mentioned above.

Frankly Mr Madhukumar fail to spot the reason in debate. There is absolutely no doubt that India can do severally better in tourism yet this requires cohesion and direction. Be it in infrastructure or delivery or regulation or the overall satisfaction monitoring mechanisms. For any domain to work as industry all stakeholders and much more importantly the policymakers and regulators ought set priorities in order and not follow the policy of forever and wherever making hay while sun shines.Asides infrastructure, Investor in hurry to reap dividends at cost of bringing disrepute is as well damaging as Safety and Security are paramount to growth in this segment.

Yes Ravindra is absolutely right. On its part the hospitality industry has to get its act together and set standards which are adhered to self-regulate. Tourism is an industry where service is the major factor by a large yardstick. Not even super-quality products deliver if service is not up-to standards.

Really sad! India is really wasting the opportunity. Infrastructure is absolutely a necessity. Even human resources can be managed from other countries. But Infrastructure is a must.

Tourism is a clean industry that if managed properly can produce a lot of employment in the service sector. India, for sure, which its rich culture is one of the countries in the world with more potential in this kind of industry.

the tourism industry when ideally should be a mjor conributor of revenue is a major failure ,pertaining not only to the infrastructure ,and as mr .ujjval mentioned stinky flith (yuck ,i have to say it b'coz the way guys treat whole city as urinal which looks hideous and inappropriate ) but also to the lack of security ,in light of extortion incidents happening . there are coutries where situation is even more grave but point is to emerging as a sensitive citizens rather then apathetic .

 Ujjvalji Really heartening to reading these lines. 

Recently I have been to Konark. They have put up spittons.

I hope putting up spittons, and small placards requesting piligrims/tourists to use spittons can improve the position.

The only tribute we can pay to the architects of fort, workers who have spent their time and energy is to keep it clean.

Dear Malladi, its great that you have initiated this topic. But as Makrand said, it would be further great if you present this as an idea contest rather than as an debate. Also, by referring in relevant communities, you will get lot of contribution...

Ideation in terms of HOW?? Tourism and its infrastructure, Governments involvement, States involvement, Private Hotel players, Tourism Development Corporations role... Madhukumar tourism is one of the largest foreign exchange churner for our govt. You have to ideate to increase it or discuss factors affecting it in a Q&A.
