Answer 2

Firstly, about tourism as an upcoming industry: People these days are more and more adventurous, curious to know more about othe r cultures, other countries, other people and other religions! People don't mind travelling to gather first hand information anymore! And, spending money to confirm what they see on TV channels about potentials of a relaxed holiday far away from home, is no problem anymore! Communication has improved so much that we are truly are global, wherever we are: and the same fast and effective communication stimulates us to travel more to extend our physical presence to places that we read about, talk about, think about> The result os all this is, Tourism as an industry has developed tremendous potential swiftly in a few recent years! And, it is still developing in that direction, everywhere, almost everywhere in various parts of the world, for reasons of scenic beauty in some places, spiritual worth in some, opulence and living style in some other places, openly offered modern comfprts and health facilities in some places etc.!
In India, there still is a lot of conservative mindsets and 'blocks', arising out of religious diversity, and poverty, that hinder tourism and free flow of tourism traffic in most parts of the country. Political considerations and corruption, poor transport facilities, roads and power problems and communication inadequacies (telephones!), all contribute to the hindrances, though India is an ideal place overall for tourism, for spiritual, pilgrimage, tourism, apart from naturally beautiful forests and rivers and coastal places that India is blessed with, with good weather conditions most of the year almost everywhere in the country. Illiteracy and poor education standards have to be tackled in quick time, if India is to take advantage of the fast developing potential of tourism industry!
