Executive Summary Collection of Domestic Tourism Statistics for Assam EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Ministry of Tourism appointed M/s Intercontinental Consultants and Technocrats as Consultants for the collection of Domestic Tourism Statistics for the State of Assam from March, 05 onward for a duration of 12 months. Assam is fast emerging as a major tourist destination in India with its splendid tourist attractions. Its breath taking scenic beauty, dense forests, green valleys, large waterways, rich bio-diversity and unique art and culture make Assam a state provides a tourists with enormous potential for development through tourism. The tourist visits in Assam has been increasing steadily during the last few years and the trend needs to be sustained through the provision of appropriate tourist facilities and services. There are a good number of accommodation units scattered through out the state. These units are primarily meeting the demands of domestic tourists and as such there is a need for star hotels, particularly in tourist destination like Guwahati, Kaziranga, Nameri, etc. The comprehensive data on tourists staying in accommodation units, tourists profile and tourists arrival at important tourists centers in the state have been collected every month: The terms of reference of the assignment as specified by the Ministry were the following: • Preparation of a frame / list of tourist place-wise, all accommodation units like Hotels, Dharamshalas, Guesthouses, etc.; • Compilation of information about both domestic and foreign tourists staying in all accommodation units each month, including nationality (about foreign tourists) from the records of accommodation units; • Compilation of information about rooms, beds, occupancy rate, employment, etc. of all accommodation units referred as at Sr. No. (ii) above on monthly basis. • Conducting a sample survey of both domestic and foreign tourists (taking separate representative samples) at all the important tourist places as at Sr. No. (i) to estimate the (a) purpose of visit (b) same day visitors (c) tourists staying with friends/relatives during their visits (d) demographic profile (e) country/state-wise arrivals (country for foreign tourists and state for domestic tourists only (f) average estimated expenditure by tourists on various items (g) average duration of stay and (h) direct employment generated through tourism in various sectors like hotels, restaurants, transport, travel agencies, travel agents etc. • Estimation of the expenditure made by State Government in development of tourism, and earnings through tourism, and • Updation of the frame/list as at Sl. No. (i) & (ii) on quarterly basis; and accordingly revise the coverage. A Camp office was established in Guwahati for better interaction and liason with State Tourism Department the A survey team of graduates, proficient in English, Hindi and Assamese languages was selected and were imparted intensive training regarding the purpose of study and collection of data. Final Report ES-i Executive Summary An initial list of accommodation units was collected from the office of Director tourism, Assam that was updated before the start of data collection. Survey of the accommodation units and Tourists were interviewed in the predesigned formats, at important tourists spots at Barpeta, Dhubri, Dibrugarh, Guwahati, Jorhat, Kaziranga, Lakhimpur, Sibsagar and Silchar, Tezpur and Tinsukia.. 0.1 Economic Census 1998 As per the Economic Census 1998 the total employment in the accommodation establishments in Assam during 1998 was 15,669. The average employment per accommodation establishment in Assam was 4.7 persons. Kamrup district had the highest employment of 7.0 persons per establishment, followed by Cachar District with 6.4 persons per establishment. The lowest employment per establishment was 2.4 persons in Hailakandi district 0.2 Accommodation Survey Accommodation survey has been conducted in nineteen places covering fifteen districts. Largest numbers of accommodation units were surveyed in Guwahati in the Kamrup district followed by Jorhat, Dibrugarh, Tinsukia and Tezpur The 351 surveyed accommodation units employed 5368 persons. The average employment per hotel is about 15.3 persons and the average employment per room is about 0.7. The highest average per hotel is at Silchar (23.3) followed by Guwahati (20.2) and Kaziranga (20.1). The average employment per establishment in the case of surveyed accommodation units has been significantly higher than the estimates available from economic census, which can be attributed to non-coverage of very small own account enterprises providing basic lodging facilities at distant places. The Directorate of Tourism of Government of Assam is mainly responsible for the development of tourism in the state. As per information available from the Department of Tourism, Assam, the revenue earning of the Directorate increased from about Rs.35.87 lakhs in 2000-01 to Rs.62.15 lakhs in 2004-05. 0.3 Tourists Survey During 2004, 22.8 lakh domestic tourist and 7285 foreign tourist visits were recorded in Assam, registering a growth of about 10.2 percent over the previous year. Over a period of eight years since 1997, domestic tourist visits recorded an average annual growth of 15.3 percent and foreign tourist visits registered 8.2 percent growth (Table 4.1) Pilgrim centers like Kamakhya temple, State Museum and Zoo and Kalakshetra at Guwahati and other tourist spots in Assam are frequented by a large number of day visitors. During 2005, Kamakhya temple recorded over 1.8 lakh visitors, State Museum about 0.4 lakh, State Zoo 4.4 lakh and Kalakshetra over 2.6 lakh visitors. According to a limited survey conducted at a number of tourist spots in Assam, about 13.2 percent of visitors were day visitors. The study revealed those 13.16-lakh domestic tourists and 6003 foreign tourists stayed in such establishments. (Table 4.2) Final Report ES-ii Collection of Domestic Tourism Statistics for Assam 0.4 Economic Survey and Present Study The accommodation survey covered fifteen districts out of 23 districts in the state. Though the districts which were not covered in the survey were relatively less important in terms of tourist visits, those districts also had accommodation establishments as revealed by Economic Census 1998. An attempt has been, therefore, made for the estimation of tourists registered in accommodation establishments in those districts by using the economic census data on employment. A line for regression between tourist arrivals and employment was established. The regression model is T=181.97 E – 69356.5 Where T= Tourists E= Employment By using the above regression equation, it has been estimated that about 250553 domestic tourists and 1142 foreign tourists would have registered in the accommodation establishments in the districts not covered in the survey. The total tourist registration in the accommodation establishments in the state during April 2005 to March 2006 is estimated to be 15.67 domestic tourists and 7144 foreign tourists.

  • The Forgotten Saga of Rangpur's Ahoms
    High Technology Letters ISSN NO : 1006-6748 The Forgotten Saga of Rangpur’s Ahoms - An Ethnographic Approach Barnali Chetia, PhD, Assistant Professor, Indian Institute of Information Technology, Vadodara, India. Department of Linguistics Abstract- Mong Dun Shun Kham, which in Assamese means xunor-xophura (casket of gold), was the name given to the Ahom kingdom by its people, the Ahoms. The advent of the Ahoms in Assam was an event of great significance for Indian history. They were an offshoot of the great Tai (Thai) or Shan race, which spreads from the eastward borders of Assam to the extreme interiors of China. Slowly they brought the whole valley under their rule. Even the Mughals were defeated and their ambitions of eastward extensions were nipped in the bud. Rangpur, currently known as Sivasagar, was that capital of the Ahom Kingdom which witnessed the most glorious period of its regime. Rangpur or present day sivasagar has many remnants from Ahom Kingdom, which ruled the state closely for six centuries. An ethnographic approach has been attempted to trace the history of indigenous culture and traditions of Rangpur's Ahoms through its remnants in the form of language, rites and rituals, religion, archaeology, and sacred sagas. Key Words- Rangpur, Ahoms, Culture, Traditions, Ethnography, Language, Indigenous I. Introduction “Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare, the lone and level sands stretch far away.” -P.B Shelley Rangpur or present day Sivasagar was one of the most prominent capitals of the Ahom Kingdom.

INTRODUCTION Cultural tourism has a special place in India because of its past civilisation. Among the various motivating factors governing travel in India, cultural tourism is undoubtedly the most important. For any foreigner, a visit to India must have a profound cultural impact and in its broader sense, tourism in India involves quite a large content of cultural content. It also plays a major role in increasing national as well as international good will and understanding. Thousands of archaeological and historical movements scattered throughout the country provide opportunites to learn about the ancient history and culture. India has been abundantly rich in its cultural heritage. Indian arts and crafts, music and dance, fairs and festivals, agriculture and forestry, astronomy and astrology, trade and transport, recreation and communication, monumental heritage, fauna and flora in wildlife and religion play a vital role in this type of tourism. Thus, it can be very well said that there remains a lot of potential for the progress of cultural tourism in India. Culturally, North East represents the Indian ethos of „unity in diversity‟ and „diversity in unity‟. It is a mini India where diverse ethnic and cultural groups of Aryans, Dravidians, Indo-Burmese, Indo Tibetan and other races have lived together since time immemorial.
