tourism-the sunrise industry

The global paradigms are changing fast and this is the time to be daring and think differently. Tourism will be the fastest growing industry henceforth. India has the potential to be the most preferred tourist destination of the world. It has every diversity imaginable-mountains,beaches,cuisines of all kinds,friendly people,places of pilgrimage of all faiths and beliefs,abundant wildlife and varied cultures and languages.
Now is the time to start dreaming of how to attract international tourists to India. At present our tourism revenues are abysmally low and can be increased exponentially within a short time. We have to start setting up single-point offices in all the leading cities of the world.These offices should be operated by young Indians who can speak in the local dialect.They should provide any information about India to the prospective tourist. It should be possible for any person any where in the world to plan his trip to India siting at home on the internet.
Tourism has tremendous employment possibilities. It creates the need for planes,ships,boats,railways,buses,taxis,hotels,restaurants,bars,discotheques,theatres,tourist guides,interpreters and museums. It also helps to protect the environment and wild life.
Tourism also helps in exchange of cultures between people of different countries and is a great unifying force.
It leads to greater understanding and mutual cooperation and goodwill all round.
Young Indians should also start going overseas in large numbers. They should not only visit  Europe and the US but also S.East Asia, Africa and Latin America.The people there are also very friendly and hospitable.
There are large wild life parks in S.Africa,Kenya and Tanzania.
Indians must give up their present attitudes and start thinking globally. Everybody should make a concerted effort to project India as a tourist friendly destination. Women should feel safe and secure travelling anywhere in India. We should go out of our way to be friendly,polite and helpful to our foreign guests.
The present shortage of rooms can be easily overcome if we start inviting tourists to our homes and provide them with cheap and decent boarding and lodging facilities. This can be done easily via the internet.
Let us all resolve to make global tourism the sun-rise industry!://www.google.co.in/search?hl=en&site=imghp&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=india+tourist+spots+map&oq=india+tourist+spots&
