There are many sights to see in India. This means that a lot of people visit the country each year. In 2016, India welcomed almost 9 million foreign visitors. They came from across the globe to see the landscapes, meet the people, learn about a different culture and enjoy the warm weather. One site that is very popular is the Taj Mahal in Agra. However, Delhi is the city most visited by those from abroad and at the southern end of the country, Tamil Nadu is the most visited state. This region has a lot of interesting animals that attract visitors. Elephants and tigers are great crowd pleasers. When visiting, people like to take the opportunity to ride on the back of elephants and meet tiger cubs. They take photos of themselves with the animals and show them to their friends and family. For them, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and a unique experience.
Tourism is not just good for the tourists; it is good for India too. Almost 10% of the country's income comes from tourism. This industry creates a lot of jobs all over the country, in many sectors. Interestingly, it has been reported that there are not enough hotel rooms for all the visitors to India. So, perhaps building more hotels could increase the income from tourism. There are also efforts being made by the Indian government to promote new forms of tourism such as: rural, cruise, medical and ecotourism. This last type of tourism is what currently boosts visitor numbers in Tamil Nadu. They travel there to see the wildlife. Here, people have the chance to get close to nature and get involved in conservation.
