  • 11.4 Tourism
    11.4 TOURISM Tourism promotes international understanding. It generates innumerable benefits, both in social and economic spheres. Today tourism is widely acclaimed as an important global industry offering immense employment opportunities, both direct and indirect. It has emerged as an instrument for employment generation, poverty alleviation and sustainable human development. During 2001-2002, direct employment in the tourism sector was estimated to be 18.52 million. Tourism also promotes national integration and international understanding and gives support to local handicrafts and cultural activities. It earns the much-needed foreign exchange. Tourism in India has grown substantially over the last three decades. However the Indian tourism was adversely affected after the 11th September 2001 events and the subsequent developments leading to Afghan War, Indo-Pak border tension and terrorist attacks in some places in India. Foreign tourist arrivals in India recorded a decline of 6.9 percent during the year 2002 as compared to the year 2001. India’s share in the world tourism market during the year 2001 was 0.37 percent. Foreign exchange earnings during the year 2002 was of Rs.14,195 crore. Tourist arrivals in India in 2003 were close to 3 million with earnings equivalent to over Rs.17,000 crore. Domestic tourism plays a vital role in achieving the national objectives of promoting social and cultural cohesion and national integration. Its contribution to generation of employment is very high. With the increase in income levels and emergence of a powerful middle class, the potential for domestic tourism has grown substantially during the last few years.
