The Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat Level in Tourism Relations bet...Dr. Ali Alalmai
This document analyzes the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) of tourism relations between India and Saudi Arabia. It provides background on tourism in each country, including key statistics on visitation and economic impact. India sees over 10 million foreign tourist arrivals annually, while Saudi Arabia is investing $54 billion by 2030 to develop its tourism sector beyond religious pilgrimages. The bilateral relationship between the two countries is described as centuries-old and strengthened by high-level visits and economic ties. A SWOT analysis is then presented for Indian tourism to Saudi Arabia, identifying cultural attractions, infrastructure development, and historical ties as strengths, but also religious restrictions, perceptions, and limited marketing as weaknesses and threats.

Unravel the indian roap trick by live beanDivya Ahuja
India is emerging as a major outbound travel market, with the number of Indian travelers abroad growing rapidly due to factors like increased disposable income and liberalized travel policies. Key markets generating outbound travelers from India include Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore. Popular destinations include Singapore, the UAE, and Thailand, though Indians are beginning to explore new locations as well. The growing middle class and their increasing spending power makes the Indian traveler a valuable market for tourism businesses worldwide.
The document summarizes tourism's role in the Indian economy. It notes that tourism contributes substantially to India's GDP and employment. The number of foreign tourists visiting India grew 24% in 2004 to over 3 million. Tourism is linked to many other industries like transportation, real estate, and handicrafts. While tourism benefits the economy, some money spent on tourism "leaks" out of India when the country imports goods or foreign investors are involved. The government is taking steps to promote tourism through improved infrastructure and marketing.
India – tourism development & sustainable growth 2020Harsh Ahuja
The document discusses India's tourism development and sustainable growth opportunities by 2020. It notes that India's diverse culture, festivals, and eco-friendly practices provide opportunities to develop tourism. The tourism and hospitality sector is a major revenue source for any nation. For sustainable growth, it is important to consider environmental, social, and economic impacts while providing livelihoods and maintaining cultural heritage. New technologies are changing the industry, and travelers now seek authentic experiences and want to reduce their environmental footprint.
The document discusses India's tourism industry, including top destinations for foreign and domestic tourists. It analyzes the industry's strengths as a country with rich heritage and culture, weaknesses like inadequate infrastructure and accommodation, opportunities from events like the Commonwealth Games, and threats from issues like terrorism, crime and disease. It also outlines the "Athiti Devo Bhavah" initiative to improve treatment of foreign tourists and sensitize industry stakeholders through training.
Cultural tourism has significant benefits for economic growth by drawing tourists through cultural attractions and events, exposing visitors to local culture in order to make places frequent destinations. Tourists enjoy exploring new cultures, so showcasing a country's culture through events satisfies this interest while strengthening cultural exchanges between hosts and guests. However, cultural tourism must also consider addressing lingering cultural misconceptions in order to maximize its potential for connecting cultures across borders.
Evolution of Tourism Policy in India: An overviewIRJET Journal
- India's tourism policy has evolved since independence, with the first formal policy announced in 1982 aimed at promoting sustainable tourism for economic growth and social benefits.
- Subsequent policies in the 1990s and 2000s continued to liberalize the tourism sector and encourage partnerships between the public and private sectors to develop tourism infrastructure and promote domestic and international tourism.

The document discusses India's tourism industry. It notes that tourism contributes significantly to India's GDP and employment. India receives over 17 million foreign tourists annually and over 700 million domestic tourists. The tourism industry is expected to grow substantially in the coming years. The document outlines some of the characteristics of the tourism industry, key initiatives by the Indian government to promote tourism, strengths and weaknesses of India's tourism industry, emerging trends in tourism, and some of the major players in India's tourism industry.
Culture and tourism have a mutually beneficial relationship that can strengthen regions and make them more attractive and competitive. Tourism provides income to support cultural heritage and creativity, while culture enhances tourism. India has seen rapid growth in tourism, generating 9.2% of GDP in 2018. India offers cultural diversity and heritage, with 38 UNESCO World Heritage sites. The government is working to promote niche tourism products and improve infrastructure to further boost the tourism sector.
The document discusses India's growing tourism industry. Some key points:
- India's economy and tourism numbers are growing rapidly, with GDP projected to exceed countries like Italy, France and Germany in the coming decades.
- Foreign tourist arrivals grew by over 13% in 2005, with foreign exchange earnings from tourism up over 20%.
- India is working to change perceptions of only being a winter destination by promoting new products like monsoon tourism.
- Infrastructure is improving through modernization of airports and a growing aviation industry, increasing accessibility across the country.
The document outlines an action plan for unleashing India's potential for tourism.

Measuring Tourist Service Satisfaction at Destination: A Case Study of Cox...b-planning
This study examines existing tourism services of the highly trafficked destination of Cox’s Bazar Sea beach in
Bangladesh using a tourist satisfaction analysis. Using observation and self-determined questionnaire survey, the study
classified tourist to their demographic and socioeconomic characteristics and measured satisfaction level using five point
Likert- scales against seventeen selected variables. The findings of this study suggest that tourists were mostly satisfied with
amenities related to destination management, with a natural attraction to the beach and relaxation facilities provided by the
destination. In contrast, tourists were disappointed with facilities such as health and emergency services, transportation
services, tour guides, information services and night life. The outcome of this empirical research will enable planners,
investors, destination mang ers and other vested interest groups to better understand tourist expectations and formulate
improved strategies, regional policy and a balanced approach toward sustainable tourism development in the region

1. Theme: Atithidevo Bhavah
Abstract:
India is a beautiful country rich in diversity. The majestic Himalayas, the sparkling ocean, the dry
desert, the dancing river, the enticing lagoons or the magical back waters, all appeal to nature
lovers. People come from far off countries to a new beautiful vision of glory of nature. Its rich
history, cultural and geographical diversity makes it an international tourism attraction. There are
many places which attract the interest of the tourists in India. Many foreign tourists from different
parts of the world come to explore the natural and the heritage beauty of this Nation. Tourists come
for different purposes such as weddings, shopping, tourism, business, education, adventure, family
reunions, etc.
Seasonality in Foreign Tourist Arrivals in India
India experiences three major seasons - Winter,
Summer and Monsoon.
In 2011 over six lakh tourists had visited
various tourist destinations such as Agra,
Jaipur, Udaipur, Kashmir valley, Goa, Mysore
and Thiruvanantha-puram in the winter
season.
In 2012, the minimum number of foreign
tourists visited India during the month of May
and maximum during the months of December.
Atithidevo Bhavah is a verse in Sanskrit. It means to consider the guest as god. This statement is
drawn from an ancient scripture which has been the ethos of Indian culture. Recently, this verse
has found its place in the tagline of Ministry of Tourism in order to improve the treatment of the
foreign tourists visiting the country due to the popularity the country has gained in the recent
times as a popular and favorite tourist destination.
The concept of Atithidevo bhav is deep rooted in our Indian culture and is carried forward with
same spirit as it used to in ancient times. The text gives an insight into the number of foreign
tourists arrivals in India during different seasons which is supported with data. The concept also
gets reinforced when the statistics show that tourists of all age groups from across the globe love
to visit India.
3. 2
The following graph clearly shows that the highest FTAs in India were in October-December and
January-March during 2012.
India is ranked as the 38th country in the world in terms of foreign tourist arrivals. The most
represented countries are the United Kingdom and the United States. In 2012 Maharashtra, Tamil
Nadu and Delhi were the most popular states for foreign tourists. Domestic tourists visited the
states of Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu most frequently.
Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Agra have been the four most visited cities of India by foreign tourists
during the year 2012. Worldwide, Chennai is ranked 41 by the number of foreign tourists,

Foreign Tourists Arrivals (FTAs) in India
It can be observed clearly that the FTAs in India have been increasing from all regions during the
year 2012. The growth was maximum from Eastern Europe followed by Africa, East Asia, Australia,
Central and South America.

Modes of Travel of Foreign Tourists Arrivals (FTAs) in India
Travel by ‘air’ has been found to be the most preferred mode of transport. In 2012, out of the 6.58
million foreign tourist arrivals in India, majority arrived by air(92%), followed by land(7 %) and
sea(1%). Arrivals through land routes comprised tourists mainly from Bangladesh and Pakistan.
Figure-2: Arrival of Foreign Tourists in India.
Air travel has been the most preferred mode of travel for the FTAs over the years, accounting for
above 80% share in each year during this period. During last three years from 2010 onwards, the
percentage of FTAs travelling to India by air has remained more than 90%. The share of arrivals
through land check-post has been above 10% during 2001 to 2008; however, it has been gradually
declining over the last 3 years. Arrivals through sea routes remain less than 1% from 1996 to 2012.

Age Distribution of FTAs in India

During the year 2012, sex-wise distribution of the FTAs comprises of 58.7% males and 41.3%
females.
The government's proposal to infuse over Rs 1,000 crore in developing India as an
attractive tourism destination is being seen as a window to draw more foreign tourists and foreign
exchange, besides enhancing air connectivity and development of heritage sites within the country.
Now one can easily guess why Max Mueller has said these lines about India-
"If we were to look over the whole world to find out the country most richly endowed with all the
wealth, power and beauty that nature can bestow in some parts, a very paradise on earth, I should
point to India."
Such is our India. It is undoubtedly a paradise for the tourists.
