Incredible India

The good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly, the awesome and the not so great, we show you India in its entirety.

Now a days India is the one of the hottest tourist destination in the world - With one foot swathed in ancient traditions and the other striding in to the entrepreneurial e0age, few countries on the earth embrace diversity as passionately as India. India ,it is often said, is not a country but continent. From north to south and east to west ,the people are different , the language are different ,the custom are different the country is different but every zone slogan is one – ` Athithi Devo Bbhawa ` means ` Guest is God ` .This type of hospitality you can not find any where in world .

Tourist arrivals to India to go up by 25 pc this year!!!

Buoyed by the revival of tourism in Jammu and Kashmir and a boom in southern states like Goa and Kerala, foreign tourist arrivals to India are tipped to go up by 25 per cent this year, Indiaâ€™s Travel and Tourism generated approximately 5% of the GDP.

The tourist hotspots in India are simmering not only with the foreign tourists but the non - resident Indians as well. India has also witnessed a sudden rush in the chartered flights from Europe, and for the first time , in huge numbers from Russia. A series of promotions led by the 300th anniversary celebrations of the Taj Mahal, an all time draw for visitors, is expected to lift tourist arrivals by 25 per cent this year.

The foreign tourist arrivals in the first three months of this year had already gone up by 17 per cent compared to the same period last year. This trend is likely to continue with the liberalisation on chartered flights and India emerging as an all-round, year-round destination.

Goa and Kerala led the country as the states attracted the maximum number of foreign tourists while Jammu and Kashmir was regaining its lost glory with the improvement in relations with Pakistan. India was a favoured destination for wedding and honeymoon as people from abroad could choose a wedding in Rajasthani or Kerala style.
