Why India’s share in international tourism is small although its size is very large?

Why is India’s share in international tourism registering a slow growth.

Give one reason for slow growth of international tourism in India.

Answer 1

Although India is geographically large and naturally diverse, its share in international tourism is small due to several reasons:

• Lack of infrastructure: Poor quality of roads, transport, hygiene, and tourist facilities in many areas.
• Safety concerns: Perception of safety, especially for solo and female travellers.
• Bureaucratic hurdles: Complicated visa processes and slow services discourage foreign tourists.
• Lack of promotion: Inadequate international marketing and promotion of Indian tourist destinations.
• Cleanliness and maintenance issues: Many heritage and natural sites are not well-maintained.
