Question

How is employment generated in the tourism sector?

Answer 1

1. India has a rich cultural heritage. There are places of worship of different religions, pilgrimage centres, confluences of rivers, forts, caves, etc., all over our country.
2. Tourists from our country as well as from abroad travel in India throughout the year.
3. The facilities for tourists to stay, travel, etc., are provided through the Tourism Development Corporation. Sale of curios and the hotel industry thrive in tourist places.
4. In some places, there are guides who give information to tourists about that area. Sometimes when vehicles don’t reach the destination in some remote and difficult-to-reach tourist places, the local people help the tourists in return for a fee.
5. Thus, the tourism sector provides employment to the people.
