2. INTRODUCTION
The World Travel and Tourism Industry calculated that tourism generated INR 6.4 trillion
i.e. 6.6% of the nation's GDP in 2012.
It supported 39.5 million jobs, 7.7% of its total employment.
The sector is predicted to grow at an average annual rate of 7.9% from 2013 to 2023.
This gives India the third rank among countries with the fastest growing tourism
industries over the next decade.
Some other aspects of its tourism infrastructure remain somewhat underdeveloped
however. The nation has very few hotel rooms per capita by international comparison and
low ATM penetration.
India's rich history and its cultural and geographical diversity make its international
tourism appeal large and diverse.
Most visited cities in India:Agra, Kashmir, Goa, Kanykumari, Jaipur & Udaipur, Kerala,
Delhi, Ahmedabad, Mysore, Ajanta Ellora.
3. Objective and Need of Study
As the statistics above suggest, the tourism industry in India is
burgeoning exponentially and provides a vast scope for neophytes like
ourselves.
To compete in such an environment we as beginners must attract the
tourists by providing them with something refreshingly different.

footing in India.

advertisers are willing to pay for clicks or impressions from the same demographic.
Total: Variable.

Total: 1 crore.
23. CONCLUSIONS
Using the data analyzed above it is clear that the concept of ‘mobile hotel’ is
unheard of in India.
Using the same data we can also conclude that mostly people are enthusiastic to
try this new concept.
Hence it offers a great opportunity for the one’s willing to venture into it.
So will launch our concept “CHUTTI ON WHEELS” as soon as possible.
After analyzing the segmentation using bi-variate analyses we have decided to first
target the ‘Pioneers’ and ‘Enterprisers’.
Once the concept is established we will try and attract ‘Ditherers’ and ‘Parochials’
as well.
24. LIMITATIONS
1. Audience set is biased. Most of the people surveyed are between the age
of 18-22 and reside in North India.
2. The concept of “CHUTTI ON WHEELS” is unheard of in India and hence it
will be difficult to replace the traditional ways of travelling currently
being undertaken in it.
3. It will be hard to establish trust among people as we are a completely
new brand.
4. Various services and facilities provided are less luxurious as compared to
a 5 star or 3 star hotel.
