Indian Tourism - an outlook

Indian Tourism as an industry, is flourishing at global level, yet in our homes we do not have time to entertain our guest with the warmth and true hospitality. Guests are no longer gods as they were thought to be. The life style has totally been changed. In today’s fast moving world, where people are engaged in their daily routine, no one has time to entertain guests. They are treated as per their financial status. Therefore there is a need felt for prompting travel tourism.

There is cut threat competition in air lines and other package tours providing by many travel agencies. They offer lucrative facilities to the passengers and thus provide the best to the persons. There drastic reduction in the tourism package has encouraged the public to enjoy their holidays. Tourism industry in fact has proved a boon for a country as it is a good exposure to the children. Apart from this it gives an opportunity to know our cultural heritage and upkeep of our national monuments.

This mushrooming tourism industry has also given employment to the unemployed people of the state. Even travel tourism subjects have been introduced as an independent career. It provides an attractive and lucrative career.

But there is a strong need of revolution in this industry. India has got everything, be it beautiful monuments or gardens, but these monuments are going waste. Corruption has trapped the whole industry and because of that the development of the monuments has almost been stopped. The income generated with the monuments is being consumed by the ministers. To make the full use of this industry, there is a need to make a new system which should not be thrown in the hands of corrupt ministers. A new department should be made which can take the important decisions. Like various cultural shows can be organized which will depict the ancient glory of India. A few more ancient monuments should be chosen for light and sound shows. A lot more can be done in order to improve this industry. But what we need is a proper system. Let’s hope that Indian government will take some appropriate decisions to improve the picture of this tourism industry.
