  • Karnataka Tourism Vision Group 2014 Report
    Karnataka Tourism Vision group 2014 report KARNATAKA TOURISM VISION GROUP (KTVG) Recommendations to the GoK: Jan 2014 Task force KTVG Karnataka Tourism Vision Group 2014 Report 1 FOREWORD Tourism matters. As highlighted in the UN WTO 2013 report, Tourism can account for 9% of GDP (direct, indirect and induced), 1 in 11 jobs and 6% of world exports. We are all aware of amazing tourist experiences globally and the impact of the sector on the economy of countries. Karnataka needs to think big, think like a Nation-State if it is to forge ahead to realise its immense tourism potential. The State is blessed with natural and historical advantage, which coupled with a strong arts and culture ethos, can be leveraged to great advantage. If Karnataka can get its Tourism strategy (and brand promise) right and focus on promotion and excellence in providing a wholesome tourist experience, we believe that it can be among the best destinations in the world. The impact on job creation (we estimate 4.3 million over the next decade) and economic gain (Rs. 85,000 crores) is reason enough for us to pay serious attention to focus on the Tourism sector. The Government of Karnataka had set up a Tourism Vision group in Oct 2013 consisting of eminent citizens and domain specialists to advise the government on the way ahead for the Tourism sector. In this exercise, we had active cooperation from the Hon. Minister of Tourism, Mr. R.V. Deshpande; Tourism Secretary, Mr. Arvind Jadhav; Tourism Director, Ms. Satyavathi and their team. The Vision group of over 50 individuals met jointly in over 7 sessions during Oct-Dec 2013.

INDIAN TOURISM INFRASTRUCTURE - Investment Opportunities & Challenges 3 4 INDIAN TOURISM INFRASTRUCTURE - Investment Opportunities & Challenges FOREWORD Travel and tourism, the largest service industry in India was worth US$234bn in 2018 – a 19% year- on-year increase – the third largest foreign exchange earner for India with a 17.9% growth in Foreign Exchange Earnings (in Rupee Terms) in March 2018 over March 2017. According to The World Travel and Tourism Council, tourism generated ₹16.91 lakh crore (US$240 billion) or 9.2% of India’s GDP in 2018 and supported 42.673 million jobs, 8.1% of its total employment. The sector is predicted to grow at an annual rate of 6.9% to ₹32.05 lakh crore (US$460 billion) by 2028 (9.9% of GDP). The Ministry has been actively working towards the development of quality tourism infrastructure at various tourist destinations and circuits in the States / Union Territories by sanctioning expenditure budgets across schemes like SWADESH DARSHAN and PRASHAD. The Ministry of Tourism has been actively promoting India as a 365 days tourist destination with the introduction of niche tourism products in the country like Cruise, Adventure, Medical, Wellness, Golf, Polo, MICE Tourism, Eco-tourism, Film Tourism, Sustainable Tourism, etc. to overcome ‘seasonality’ challenge in tourism. I am pleased to present the FICCI Knowledge Report “Indian Tourism Infrastructure : Investment Opportunities & Challenges” which highlights the current scenario, key facts and figures pertaining to the tourism sector in India.

  • Impact of Promotion on Destination Reputation: a Case of Gujarat Alka Sharma*, Shruti**
    International Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Systems Volume 8 Issue 1 June 2015 ISSN: 0947-6250 Print ©Copyright IJHTS ® Exclusive Marketing Rights: Publishing India Group Impact of Promotion on Destination Reputation: A Case of Gujarat Alka Sharma*, Shruti** Abstract India is unparalleled in its beauty, uniqueness, rich culture, heritage and history. The Government of India has been initiating various advertising campaigns such as the Incredible India to promote India as an attractive tourist destination. Different states in India like Goa, Kerala, Gujarat, etc. have also been promoting themselves as tourist destinations by using such campaigns for attracting more tourists in their states. Gujarat has been a front runner in adopting innovative promotional strategies; the state government is encouraging the tourists to discover its century’s old history. The “Khushboo Gujarat Ki” ad-campaign has increased tourism in Gujarat, thereby suggesting the relevance of promotion in brand building of a destination. Tourism destinations are complex organizations (Buhalis, 2003) which need to manage their reputation (Inversini, Cantoni, & Buhalis, 2009) vis-a-vis other destinations in order to attract larger number of tourists. Therefore, it is becoming increasingly critical for destinations to measure and manage their reputations. (Passow, Fehlmann, & Grahlow, 2005). The present paper is an empirical study which attempts to analyze the Ad content of “Khushboo Gujarat Ki” campaign of Gujarat and its impact on the reputation of the destination. Keywords: Destination Marketing, Destination Reputation, Ad-content, Country Rep Trak, Khushboo Gujarat Ki. INTRODUCTION In this direction, the Government of India has been initiating various communication programs to promote India’s culture The evolving Indian tourism and hospitality industry has and tourist attractions.
