  • A Case Study of Agra
    TOURISMOS: AN INTERNATIONAL MULTIDISCIPLINARY JOURNAL OF TOURISM Volume 6, Number 2, Autumn 2011, pp. 139-158 UDC: 338.48+640(050) ECONOMIC POTENTIAL OF TOURISM: A CASE STUDY OF AGRA Surabhi Srivastava1 University of Lucknow Tourism in its broadest generic sense can do more to develop understanding among the people, provide jobs, create foreign exchange and raise living standards than any other economic force. India is world famous for the city of Taj -Agra. There are a number of other tourists attractions like Agra Fort, Itmad-ud- daula's tomb, Bharatpur Sanctuary, Sikandara, Fatehpur Sikri etc which have equal historical and architectural significance but tourists are not aware of about all these places and monuments. The focus of this paper is on the economic benefits accruing to the state byway of tourist's arrivals to Agra. Though Agra receives maximum number of tourists but except Taj Mahal they are not aware about other monuments. This study will evaluate the reasons of lacking in economic benefits from tourism and also analyse the tourist’ problems facing at Agra. Key Words: Economic, Potential, Tourism, Agra, Taj Mahal. JEL Classification: L83, M1, O1 INTRODUCTION Tourism is a field of human activity known to mankind from time immemorial. It cuts across barriers of caste, colour, creed and builds universal brotherhood. The world's oldest industry is also one of the largest and fastest growing industries today. In general terms travel is referred to any movement of one or more people from one point to another. There is not much difference between tourism and travel; in general both terms are used as synonyms (Nanthakumar et al, 2008).

  • Agra Travel Is a Fantastic Experience, Because There Is Something for Everyone in This Lovely City
    Agra Travel to Agra, the land of Taj Mahal! A quaint city in the North Indian state, Uttar Pradesh, with the meandering Yamuna, Agra boasts of colossal monuments and rich heritage. Agra’s culture is multicolored with people of Hindu, Muslim, Jain and other religions, living harmoniously, while depicting their individual traditions, attires and cuisines. Agra College is one of India’s oldest colleges, originally a Sanskrit school during Scindia’s rule. Agra is a great hub of Hindi literature, because of scholars like Babu Gulab Rai. Agra is mentioned in Mahabharata as Agravana and was founded in modern times by Raja Badal Singh in 1475. Muslims invaded the city in 1526 and erected many outstanding buildings here. Agra travel is a fantastic experience, because there is something for everyone in this lovely city. Taj Mahal, the eternal monument of love, stands ashore River Yamuna. The world-famous landmark of Agra is built entirely in white marble and looks especially amazing on a moonlit night. Commissioned by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, in memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal, this stately monument took 23 years to complete. It is among the New Seven Wonders of the World and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Agra Fort is another magnificent structure and also a World Heritage Site. It is actually a structure before 1000 BC and was renovated by Mughal King Akbar in 1565. It consists of many magnificent buildings inside, like Pearl Mosque, Jahangir Palace, Diwan-e-Aam, Diwan-e-Khaas, Shish Mahal, and many more. Jama Masjid, built by Princess Jahanara, daughter of Shah Jahan in 1648, is an impressive structure.

How did they look like? What was their morphology? Why did Mughals shift their capital cities at all? What happened when they ceased to be the capitals? Rapaport has articulated two types of capitals – dispersed and compact. Dispersed capitals were those ‘where the political/ideological center(s) is isolated from other settings of social and economic life’ while in compact capitals ‘political, residential, and economic activities are nucleated’ (Rapaport cited in Sinopoli, 1994: 293). Mughal primate cities can be representative of the dispersed capitals. ‘The Mughals constructed multiple capitals, used sequentially and simultaneously, and also conducted much of the business of empire in mobile imperial camps’ (Sinopoli, 1994: 294). Agra, Fathpur Sikri, Delhi, Lahore all at one point or the other enjoyed the status of the capital cities. Both Agra and Fathpur shared almost the adjacent spaces, situated within the distance of twelve miles. Agra emerged into prominence in the early 16th century when Sikandar Lodi decided to make it his capital and continued to enjoy this status (interregnum of 16 years when Fathpur overpowers Agra) till the mid-17th century; while Delhi occupied its primacy from very early on assimilating within herself a number of capital cities (for details see Unit 21, Block 4 (2) of this Course) before finally occupying almost a permanent place as a capital town in 1648, when Shahjahan shifted his capital to Shahjahanabad (except an interregnum of almost fifty years when Calcutta was the colonial capital) till date.
