4. DRAWBACKS IN GUJARAT TOURISM
• Conditions of our airports, delays in getting the bookings, flight cancellations and
delays render air travel in India nightmarish for foreign tourists.
• Due to appalling conditions of traveling by trains, in India tourists prefer to avoid
unless unavoidable.
• Lack of hygienic and comfortable accommodation for the tourists, in general,
Absence of motel hampers the smoothness, of long distance travels.
• There is absence of an up to date information systems with quick retrieval
facilities causes inconvenience to tourists.
• Seasonality of the industry with the busy season being limited to six months from
October to March and heavy rush in November and December.
• Indifference of many states and union territories to tourism, which has not yet
been accorded industry status by them, is another factor limiting its growth.
• Political factors
• Unable to draw attention of foreign tourists
