Sir,
Subject: Ideas for boosting the development of the tourism industry in India
Through the columns of your esteemed daily, I would like to bring to light the issue of the need of boosting the development of the tourism industry in our country.
We know that the significance of tourism is inevitable for India. Tourism benefits India in three ways-employment, foreign currency and infrastructure development. Millions of people work in India's tourist industry. This includes jobs in hotels, transport, attractions and tour companies. But tourism has not been given its due in our country. With only an average of 4 million tourists annually, India is way behind countries like Russia and Singapore. Increasing tourists will increase employment in the tourism industry and eventually increase the quality of life of thousands.
The development of the infrastructure such as hotel construction, airport improvements and ground transportation systems is the need of the hour. We need to plan various schemes for the protection and entertainment of our tourists. The monuments and other tourist spots should be preserved. In addition, there is a want for the focus on the cleanliness of the country so as to make it attractive for the foreign tourists. India’s infrastructure and public services are antiquated or nonexistent. In both big cities and small villages, open sewers and inadequate plumbing are widespread. Mounds of garbage along the sides of the road are common. Public restroom facilities, even if available, are poorly maintained. Often the only sanitary amenities available are at big luxury hotels. India needs to improve its public services and foster basic hygiene if it wants to appeal to the foreign tourist. If India wants to encourage tourism, it needs to act to improve the quality of its air and water so Indians and tourists alike can breathe the air and drink the water freely.
Yours sincerely,
Rama
