Factors affecting Indian Tourism Industry?

Some factors affecting Indian tourism are as follows:

Poor transportation

Lack of basic hygienic amenities at halting points

Non-standardization of rates and fares

Lack of sound marketing and promotion strategies

Poor maintenance of heritages

Issues regarding security and harassment

Lack of passionate and trained professionals 

There is a general lack of easy and tourist-friendly information at any tourist place. Our 'tourist information centre' at most of the railway stations or airports are either not manned at all or are occupied by people who are hardly visible when needed. There should be some staff at such places who can guide the tourists once they arrive at a new place. Once they settle down they can easily take care of themselves. What they need is the initial help,even which we are not able to provide

"Harassment" where ever we go, v just need a safe and peaceful time to get enjoying the tour. now a days there s no safer side to the foreigners . even though we have good industry since tourists affected by harassment,.

It is very essential to promote Brand India as a tourist destination nationally as well as at the state level. However the tourism departments are always cash strapped, there is general apathy towards work along with  aging manpower never works in favour of brand promotion. What we need today is dynamic manpower who are committed to take up tourism as a career (I wonder how many of us plan to take up tourism as a career!) and work up to really explore that Incredible India as well as make India a safe tourist destination

1. Failure to assure the tourist safety, security & stated quality of product services.

2. Confusing information dissemination in content and method.

3. Absence of efficient regulator.

4. Poor infrastructure and cohesive support.

5. Poor plan policies and lack of focus.

6. Almost nil coordination within various agencies in all levels.

7. Weak on discipline: Operator, industry bodies and regulator.

There is a serious problems concerning the issues with the guides and duplicate travel agents.. these people project an exxagerated vision of the country which inturn creates a doubt in minds of foriegn travellers... henceforth the Govt must seriously look into the topic for promoting the Indian Tourism Industry...

Today copy and paste is the fastest method to improve quality services. Tourism Industry also studies the present growing countries in this field. Like Malaysia, United Arab Emirates, Australia, and other countries. Copy and paste the ideas. Like Middle East people like family attraction and entertainment, they are not interested in historical or cultural tourism. The Industry requires huge investment and the private sector hesitate to invest such huge amounts. The Tourism Ministry starts investment in these projects. Only government can stimulate and organize. We should borrow ideas, trends, etiquettes, hospitality, technology and things without any orthodox thinking and getting our old-men ideas.

PINK CITY turned RED on May 13 by the terrorist strike, killing more than 70 persons (as per government report) and leaving more than double the number as injured. The terrorist attack on the Pink City is not only an attack on humanity, but once again terrorist groups have proved that they do not have any ideology, except spreading violence and terror and they have no other cause but to harm humanity.

This is the main reason that takes Indian Tourism Industry a back step.

There are many travel agencies ,they provide conducted tours ,includes travel,hotel stay and site seing in good buses/cars with guides.Railways,roadways and airlines are providing them all .Govt. of India should provide subsidiary to encourage the tourism ,but have complete control so that nothing wrong/irregular/cheating is done as poited out by others above and below.

As we all know last year there was a terror attack in Mumbai on Hotel Taaj & Hotel Oberoy. Because of these terror activities foreign tourists fear to come India. Apart from this the behavior of travellers with tourists is not satisfactory. Travellers cheat foreign tourists by charging handsome amount from them. Sometime tourists may not find proper guide to guide them towards places available for tours. In our country we dont deal with tourists as guest but we just see them as a tourists point of view. To attract tourists towards indian Culture we Should respect them & We should not forget : "ATITHI DEVO BHAVAH"

In the recent times terrorism is one of most important factor in the roadblock of Indian tourism industry. In last few years India has seen lot of terrorist attack all around India and it has impacted a lot to Indian tourism indusrty growth.

India' most cultural city & hot tourism spot like Jaipur has witnessed terrorist attack last year and it really has affected tourism industry of Rajasthan. 

After the abolition of Taliban now all the terriorist activity handled through pakistan and it has made the situation more vulnerable.

such departments generally suffer from poor work culture and there is general apathy towards work

mentioned sometime back

I have faced all of the above problems while traveling.

Everyone wants better results from tourism yet no none from policy makers to regulator to operators wants to follow their respective roles with sincerity and honesty.

India requires better infrastructure, channels to hone resources and continually work to better, address Safety & Security issues seriously and develop own competencies of management rather than trying to ape other countries models. 

Unfortunately, our country is full of "Hungry for money" people who don't spare any outsiders. What to say about foreigners. These people can be found every where, in offices, taxi & auto drivers, coolies, guides, temples and tourist spots, as a roadside seller even professional baggers who wait for any non-localite so that they can just "ROB" them. Not only that, there is no security either of the tourists or there belongings and even our "Great" Police department arrives after are inactive. Because of all these reasons. The tourism in our country is getting a bad name.
