WHAT IS TOURISM?
Before hitting the target of tourism in india,let us first know what do we mean by TOURISM.(international).Tourism is travel for recreational, leisure, or business purposes.What the WTO(World Tourism Organisation) tells is that Tourism is people "traveling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes".Now this can be considered as an exact definition.I know why you will be wondering of the phrase “more than one year”.
The answer’s simple guys!(It is because when people have to stay there for a long time,they need to have something called visa.So people basicall can’t stay in a foreign place for so long!.so that’s why).so now enough of the intro.Lets dig in to the main topic of the project TOURISM IN INDIA.
