BUSINESS ECONOMICS
|September 16-31, 2019
India offers a great tourism potential not only for the Indians but to the foreign travellers as well.
Comparing the years 2017 and 2018, when the number of domestic tourists registered a growth of 11.9% (1657.55 million to 1854.93 million), growth in number of foreign visitors was registered at 7.4% (26.89 million to 28.87 million). The travel and tourism sector is the third largest foreign exchange earner for India. Statistically, India’s tourism revenue in terms of foreign exchange earnings increased from $20.24 billion in 2014 to $28.59 billion in 2018.
The tourism sector is also a good source of employment. Data shows that this sector accounted for 8% of the total employment opportunities generated in the country in 2017, providing employment to around 41.6 million people and the number is expected to rise to 52.3 million by 2028.
