In 1998, tourists spent 45 thousand crore dollar which would be round 90 thousands crore in present scenario. According to other data, Tourism industry is a fast growing industry and it contributes at the rate of 8% in the total world Export. This gives us a provoking thought that how big chance of business should we look for as our share. India has no derth of attractions of tourist interest. The only thing that we need is right direction and right set of mind. The prosperity will follow.

So it’s the moral duty of all Indians to provide them a sense of security while they are in India to assure them to visit India again which will ultimately bring prosperity.

Mr. Manas Ranjan from Times of India said that Agra is one of the places in the world which attracts countless tourists every year. On world tourism map India is known because of Taj. Besides this whenever a tourist comes to India his aim is not only to visit India but he also comes in contact with the products of our country. That means by the visit of tourists, we open scope for export of many products which ultimately brings prosperity.

If the basic amenities are easily available to a tourist, he can spare more time for other activities. Almost all type of amenities is available in India today which is attracting a lot of tourists. When a person stays away from his home and gets the comfort of his own home, he enjoys his stay and becomes our ambassador, and all this can be achieved by the dedicated work force who understands the needs of the tourists.
