DRAWBACKS OF THE INDIAN TOURISM
INDUSTRY
GAPS
• Single window clearance: In Maharashtra itself, a company needs to
acquire 132 licenses to develop a star category hotel. Organising one festival
or entertainment event in India requires a minimum of 30 licenses to be
procured. The absence of a single window clearance to obtain all the
approvals becomes a major obstacle
• Cyber security: The tourism industry is faced with another challenge, cyber
crime. The issue of online security for the travel industry is becoming critical
as some of the biggest frauds have been detected in this segment. Online
Travel Agents (OTAs) are registering an impressive year-on-year growth.
However, a majority are still not convinced about the security of online
transactions
• Infra: The Golden Triangle (Delhi-Agra-Jaipur) is India’s only circuit which is
world famous. Creating circuits will also give a boost to niche tourism
segments and help in prioritising destination development and infrastructure
• Taxation: Travel and tourism in India is a high-taxed industry, which makes
India expensive as a tourist destination. Inbound tourism is the one most
affected. Various taxes are levied across the entire industry right from tour
operators, transporters, airline industry to hotels and these include service
tax, luxury tax, tax on aviation turbine fuel (airline industry). In addition, these
tax rates tend to vary across different states in the country.
26. 26
DRAWBACKS OF THE INDIAN TOURISM
INDUSTRY
GAPS
• Amenities: Amenities available at various tourist locations and en route need
to be improved. These include basic amenities such as drinking water, well
maintained and clean waiting rooms and toilets, first aid and wayside amenities
(to meet the requirement of the tourists travelling to tourist destinations) such
as lounge, cafeteria, and parking facilities, among others
• Security: has been a major problem as well for growth of tourism for a number
of years. Terrorist attacks or political unrest in different parts of the country
have adversely affected sentiments of foreign tourists. Terror attacks at
Mumbai in November 2008 dealt a strong blow to tourism in the country. The
terror attacks raised concerns of safety. In addition, insurgency in different
parts of the country also mars India’s image as a safe destination
• Regulatory issues: For inbound international tourists, visa procedures are
seen as a hindrance. A number of countries competing with India for tourists
provide visa on arrival. India should provide visa on arrival for more countries
or for certain categories of tourists for a specific duration. A number of projects
in the tourism infrastructure segment and in the hotels industry are delayed due
to non-attainment of licenses and approvals on time. The government recently
cleared the long-standing proposal for single window clearance for hotel
projects to hasten the process of infrastructure development
27. 27
RECOMMENDATIONS
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Projection of India’s image as a safe and secure tourist destination: Tourist
Police Task Force has been established by various state governments for ensuring
safety and security for tourists. Special sensitisation campaigns may be
implemented for women tourists and to publicise these campaigns on global
platforms. Health concerns for tourists visiting India also needs to be mitigated
• Seamless travel within circuits: Steps may be taken in order to enhance travel
experience for visitors across states. Payment of road tax, toll etc. while entering
each state may be replaced by an integrated taxation regime. This may further be
augmented by development of an integrated public transport system at a national
level on lines of the Eurail network in Europe
• Joint marketing programs: With tourist circuits spanning across various states,
collaborative marketing efforts may be required for promotion of the same: –
Focused branding and promotional campaigns may be designed – Marketing
material like brochures, print creative, audio video presentations, short films, radio
jingles, creation of web-sites, online creatives, advertisements over media channels
like print, radio or internet etc. may be utilised – Involvement of local travel trade
partners may be encouraged. Trips to involved destinations, informative sessions,
financial support and incentives may be provided
28. 28
RECOMMENDATIONS
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Development of tourism destinations: An extensive market research and
evaluation exercise may be undertaken in order to identify desired tourist destination
attributes and major markets and segments. Identified tourist destinations may then
be developed through flagship projects involving state governments and private
sector players. These may be developed either as ‘products’ such as religious,
wellness, adventure, nature
• Inclusive growth: There is a need to spread education and awareness on the
importance of tourism sector and increase stakeholder participation involving the
government, private sector and the community at large. Marketing campaigns like
‘Atithidevo Bhava’ may be implemented at regular intervals. Tourism awareness
programs and workshops may be organized to enhance sensitisation towards
tourists and tourism destinations and for sustainable development and maintenance
of tourism sites in the country
• Infrastructural development:Investments in tourism infrastructure may include
development of both tourism as well as civic infrastructure. This may also involve
provision of way side amenities, tourist information bureaus and websites for
providing requisite tourist information
