9. SOME SIGNIFICANT STEPS TAKEN TO INCREASE TOURISM IN INDIA

10. NEED OF ECO-TOURISM
Ecotourism, also known as ecological
tourism, is responsible travel to fragile,
pristine, and usually protected areas that
strives to be low-impact and (often) small-
scale. It helps educate the traveller
provides funds for conservation directly
benefits the economic development and
political empowerment of local
communities; and fosters respect for
different cultures and for human rights.
Take only memories and leave only
footprints is a very common slogan in
protected areas. Tourist destinations are
shifting to low carbon emissions following
the trend of visitors more focused in being
environmentally responsible adopting a
sustainable behaviour.

11. STEPS TO INCREASE TOURISM IN INDIA
1.Create travelling experiences for
tourists rather than just attractions
Travelling is an experience rather
than just visiting attractions! In order
to promote the tourism of India, we
need to invest time and efforts in
building travelling experiences for
people brim with tour guides,
activities for the children, culinary
tours, interactivity for the tourist with
the culture of the place etc

12. 2. Preserving Historical Monuments
Any other nation in this world can hardly
match up the number of historical
monuments that dot the landscape of India.
But they can’t match up the kind of
creativity and inscriptions that goes into
ruining those monuments! We seriously
need to put punitive measures against
anybody who does this. Further, our
monuments also demand a lot of attention
and resurrection to bring them out of
obscurity.

13. 3. Friendly Reception
A friendly smile on the face of host at
times gives the best whiff to tourism. And
this is one thing that we can implement at
our own level to ensure a hospitable
image of India before others. Security
concerns also go alongside. A country
that serves well, looks well.

14. 4. Promoting Festivals to
enhance Indian tradition
We recognize Christmas with west,
Tomatina festival with Spain and Rio
carnival with Brazil! But, a country like
India has such a plethora of festivals that
merely one would not be able to sum up
our diversity of culture and tradition.
These festivals do add a dash of color
and light when it comes to defining
tourism in India. So let us just make
them more popular and tourist friendly
to offer a quite essential Indian
experience to the travelers.

15. 5.To understand how tourism can
change the face of our nation
This should have been the first point! The
day we understand how tourism can
change the face of our nation, half of the
battle will be won. It can definitely bring
more value, income and an image to our
nation and bring us in the top contenders
for the list of travel destinations!
