From the Board displayed near the Boat House, Ooty Travel Agencies helped the tourists for their ticket reservation, sight seeing transport arrangements, accommodation and other works related to tourism. In Nilgiris 43 travel Agents are operating at different places like Ooty – 31, Connoor – 2, Gudalur – 6 and Masinagudi - 6. Travel Agents by performing their duties politely and convincingly earns handful of money with every ones pleasure. Travel agents are giving awareness to the tourists about the places of importance and leading the tourists to the tourists spots. They are the practical working force in improving the local tourist business.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF SHOP KEEPERS THROUGH TOURISM Traditional art gallery attracted large number of tourists. In Nilgiris we can see near the Botanical garden, the lake and the town many handicrafts shops. They sold materials like wood and pearl handicrafts, textiles, swatters, toys, technical and electrical appliances. The objects in the shops attract tourist and they purchase the material irrespective of its cost. Most of the tourists visited Ooty will purchase Eucaliptus oil, Tea, Coffee and spices. This is because we can get original items of the aforesaid only from the shops of Ooty. Through the sales of the above items local business people received good income during the season in Ooty.

ECONOMIC PROMOTION THROUGH THE PLACES OF ATTRACTION Experiencing a stay at Ooty is consistently in every ones dream and to make it true any one has to off load his purse at the foot steps of various doors. The inflow is happening through multiple inlets. Example Entrance fee to the botanical garden is Rs.5/- for children, Rs.10 for adults, Rs.30/- for ordinary camera, Rs.500/- for video camera. In the boat house Rs.5/- for entrance Rs.10/- for camera, Rs.100/- for video camera. Boat hiring charges are collected for riding the boat according to the size of the boat. In Bycara dam's Boat house also similar rents are collected.

Kennadian dam, Kuntha dam, Mukurichi dam, Bycara dam, Kamaraj sagar, the Pine plantations, Citydora gardens, Geranium plantations, Bycara and Singara power projects, Dottapetta peak, Kodanad slope, Thengumarakada village, Kinnakorai Village, Aravancad cardite factory and DSSA college at wellington added scenic beauty and give a panoramic view to Nilgiris, attracted more visitors resulting in generating more income for Nilgiris either through direct or indirect ways.

CONCLUSION The Nilgiris district is noted for the natural beauty is a heaven on earth remains to be the main tourist attraction in all times. The inflow of tourists is high enough to get an annual bid amount of around Rs.5 crores from tollgates entry points in Nilgiris. The proportionate sales generated in the sector of petrol, diesel and engagements in hotel and restaurants run into multiplies of crores. The sales of TANTEA products like Eucaliptus oil, Geranium Oil and other traditional and artistic items certainly have boosted the economic prosperity of Nilgiris. The government is getting a respectable amount of tax collection through the tourism in Nilgiris. All the aforesaid sources of income has a vibrant effect and impact on the economic development of the Nilgiris.
