Factors behind Indian Tourism Industry Growth
Indias rise as a tourist destinationIndia may still be a minnow in the global tourism market, the success of the Incredible India campaign notwithstanding. Foreign tourist arrivals (FTAs) in India in 2018 accounted for 1.2% of international tourist arrivals, according to the UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), with at least two-dozen countries having a higher share than India. But the tripling of FTAs in the past 10 years, from 5.3 million to 17.4 million, indicates India is a great destination globally.
