Tourism in India has grown phenomenally over the last decade. Tourists flock to India for its geographical biodiversity, World Heritage Sites, bio-geographic zones and for spiritual reasons. The government is working to attain1% share in world’s international tourist arrivals by 2020, growing to a 2% share by 2025. Further, the travel and tourism sector’s contribution to India’s GDP is expected to be Rs. 32,05,000 crore (US$ 492.21 billion) by 2028.
India’s holiday spots welcome tourists to its beautiful hills, pilgrimage sites, enchanting beaches, bustling cities, rich wildlife, historical monuments, golden deserts and the captivating rural villages. These holidays bring about a smile, and the best in people. For some, it is a journey they have been waiting to take for a long time amidst the busy schedule; while for some it’s a way to just relax, rejuvenate and create memories. Holidays are the time to pursue passion and engage in diverse activities…skiing, horseback riding, wine tasting, engaging in delectable cuisine, or simply fishing.
