Tourism
1. PROMOTION OF DOMESTIC
TOURISM IN TAMILNADU
A.Gurusamy | Dr.R.Pandi |
Alagappa University Karaikudi
2. What is Domestic
Tourism ?
Domestic tourism is one of the most vibrant
expressions of Indian heritage. It is the
single unifying force, which helps to achieve
understanding between various linguistic,
religious and social groups living in different
parts of the country. In the contemporary
India, the phenomenon of domestic tourism
with its living vibrant changing dimensions
can be expected to make an even greater
contribution towards strengthening the
fabric of the unity of India. It is the major
way by which myths are exploded and
Indians come to know about Indians.
Advantages of Domestic tourism
•Domestic movement of people for non-migratory purposes constituted shifts in consumer markets of variable
importance and the catalysts of the national economy.
•It has extremely high, social, cultural, educational and political value and true economic value, although still
embryonic in some cases.
•It generates large scale employment opportunities particularly in rural areas and restrains exodus of people to
large towns.
•The new jobs created to meet the needs of domestic tourists have a relatively low unit cost per job and it
helps increase the number of jobs.
•Production methods for services demanded by domestic tourists generally remain simple and based on local
materials.
•It also requires only simple installations and infrastructure in transport, accommodation and catering which
would take into account local culture, political and historical traditions.
•It has the ability to sustain and maintain the tourism industry during lean periods of international tourism by
providing an alternative for demand substitution.
•It contributes to an empowered balancing of national economy through redistribution of national income and
thus provides a better environment for growth of both domestic and inbound tourism.
•It is a single unifying force which helps to achieve understanding between various linguistic, religious and
commercial groups living in different parts of the country. It thus contributes towards strengthening the fabric of
national unity and cultural integration.
3. Domestic Tourism in
Tamil Nadu
Tamil Nadu ranks first in the country in
medical tourism and second in
foreign tourists arrivals and third in
attracting domestic tourists in India.
The State aims at making Tamil Nadu
the topmost attractive tourist
destination at the international level by
increasing the number of tourist
arrival, the length of stay and the
average spending.
Tamil Nadu has excellent hill stations like Ooty, Kodaikanal, Yercaud, Elagiri, Javvadhu
Hills, Kolli Hills, Sirumalai Hills, Valparai, Topslip, Parvathamalai Hills and Pachamalai Hills. It
has silvery cascades in Courtallam, Hogenakkal, Thiruparappu, Monkey falls, Thirumurthi
Malai, Akasa Gangai and Papanasam. It has excellent National Parks like Guindy National
Park and Anamalai National Park. It has wildlife sanctuaries in Mudumalai, Kodiakarai,
Kalakkad, Mundanthurai and Berijam. It has Botanic Gardens in Ooty, Kodaikanal and
Coimbatore. It has UNESCO declared monuments like living Chola temples at Thanjavur,
Darasuram and Gangaikondacholapuram, monuments at Mamallapuram and Nilgiris Heritage
Train. The vast coastline of Tamil Nadu has many silvery beaches like the Marina, Elliots,
Thiruvanmiyur, Tiruchendur, Rameswaram and Kanniyakumari. The temples of Tamil Nadu
reverberate with spirituality and music. Madurai, Rameswaram, Kumbakonam, Chidambaram,
Thanjavur and Tiruchirappalli have innumerable temples with different deities. The finely hewn
grandeur sculptures reflect artistic excellence and cultural splendour.
4. TTDC
Tamil Nadu Tourism Development
Corporation is a state owned public
sector undertaking to initiate novel
ventures and innovate new schemes for
providing demonstration effect to the
private sector. Tamil Nadu Tourism
Development Corporation (TTDC) has
been operating Hotels, Youth Hostels,
Restaurants, Tours, Boat houses,
Telescope houses as a forerunner for
the private sector to follow as new area
of business proposition.
To facilitate the tourists, Tamil Nadu Tourism has been taking enduring efforts
to promote tourist places by providing basic infrastructure like public
convenience, rest shed, drinking water, road improvement, car parking, etc.
So, the present study is undertaken to evaluate the promotional
status of domestic tourism in Tamil Nadu. The promotion of
domestic tourism is not only relied on Governments’ enduring efforts
but also on participation of local people and accommodation
providers in addition to visiting tourists. Therefore, the viewpoints of
these sections of the people are the backbone for any study of this
kind.
5. Essential factors in the
development of tourism
and proper running of
the industry
Accessibility,
Acommodation and
Recreation
In addition to the above three factors, the
development of tourism is also related to
•Tourism spots,
•Local community,
•Accommodation providers and
•Tourists.
There is a greater need for study of
this kind which focuses on analyzing
the viewpoints of three main
stakeholders (local people, tourists and
accommodation providers) of tourism
for promoting domestic tourism in the
States with immense potential for
tourism like Tamil Nadu.
6. Before taking any actions to promote
tourism, There needs an identification
of positive and negative impacts on
the social, economic and physical
environments of the destination
areas.
• Development of tourism is not
entirely a matter of economics as it
has implications on geography,
sociology and ecology of the area and
its people. The problems of
geographical, sociological, and
ecological problems in the places of
tourism destinations, if any, need to
be thoroughly understood and
analyzed for optimum socio-economic
gains to the host community and the
development of tourism activities in
the areas of tourism destination
primary scope of the present study is mainly based on
the viewpoints of local people, domestic tourists and
accommodation providers about domestic tourism in Tamil
Nadu.
7. Objectives of the study
• To study the present status of tourism (importance and benefits) in Tamil Nadu as
perceived by the local people, domestic tourists and accommodation providers.
• To study the purpose and importance of domestic Tourism as postulated by the locals,
domestic tourists and accommodation providers
• To evaluate the benefits from domestic tourism based on the perception of locals, domestic
tourists and accommodation providers.
• To ascertain the existing tourism infrastructure at important places of tourism in Tamil Nadu
as part of identifying existing promotional activities.
• To evaluate the promotion of eco-tourism based on the extent of awareness about eco-tourism
among locals, domestic tourists and accommodation providers.
• To find out the status of various tourism-related services in Tamil Nadu by analyzing the
level of satisfaction of locals, domestic tourists and accommodation providers with those
services.

toilets, parking facilities for vehicles at various places and
availability of garbage bins at various public places are found
to be at moderate level
• the extents of availability of various tourism-related services are
not same and vary significantly across regions
22. Suggestions

for business opportunities to local communities in
order to increase their participation in the development
of domestic tourism.
• The entertainment facilities such as permanent trade
fairs, amusement parks, exhibitions, neals and cultural
festivals may be provided to ensure longer stay of the
tourists in the places of tourism importance.
• The Government should take necessary steps to
improve basic amenities, tourism information and
guide services, transport, banking and communication
facilities to attract more tourists.
• The Government should give more incentives to
hoteliers in order to boost the promotion of
accommodation facilities to cater to all segments of
the society.
• The Government of Tamil Nadu should augment
packaged tours through Tamil Nadu Tourism
Development Corporation.
• To promote tourism in both domestic and international
level, the Government should concentrate more on
promoting eco-tourism by developing new planned
tourist destinated spots from the unexplored regions
with enormous natural beauty.
• The exploitation of tourists by locals must be
controlled.
• The traffic system in popular tourist spots has to be
regularized to disperse the congestion.
• The Government of Tamil Nadu should take necessary
steps to maintain cleanliness and environmental
sustainability in the places of tourism importance to
further promote the domestic tourism.
• The Government should make necessary
arrangements to provide sufficient information needed
for tourists visiting its regions by opening tourism
information centres in many places. Guided tour
services need to be improved and promoted further.
23. Conclusion
• At present, tourism in Tamil Nadu is capable of attracting
more tourists in its folds particularly in respect of attracting
domestic tourists.
• In Tamil Nadu, participation in tourism-related activities is
seen to be more among local people as well as among
hoteliers. Most of the hoteliers in various regions of
tourism importance under study provide most of the
facilities required for tourists’ less than one roof. That is,
they provide facilities such as restaurant, car rentals,
laundry and doctors on call for tourists.
• Hoteliers have also demanded the attention of the Tamil
Nadu government in respect of improving road conditions,
tourism information centre, drainage system,
communication facilities, medical facilities, availability of
public toilets, parking facilities for vehicles at various
places and availability of garbage bins at various public
places to further promote tourism
• it is concluded that tourists across India visit Tamil Nadu
primarily for pleasure, sightseeing and spend their vacation
as well as for visiting temples here as pilgrimage.
Availability of luxury transports is up to the satisfaction of
local people and tourists but hoteliers expect more of these
services. Both local people and domestic tourists have not
seen any overcrowding, overcharges, delay in service and
bad road conditions. However, hoteliers want more
transport services to reduce overcrowding.
• Though potentiality for tourism promotion and development
in Tamil Nadu is good, the extent of potentiality for
promotion and development of tourism is not same in all
regions as perceived by the Hoteliers. It is finally
concluded that the major hurdles for promotion of tourism
is identified as taxation (Service tax & others) followed by
lack of Government assistance and complicated procedure
for getting license by the hoteliers.
