tourist arrivals it is hoped that the number would increase to 8 million by the
end of 2015 as per the analysis graphed in advance of the world tourism day

tourist and contribute in foreign investment which is up to 70% are
Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh (UP) and Rajasthan.
After West Bengal and Bihar the state of
Kerala comes in eight and contributes about 4 % of foreign investment and it is
very significant to notice the growth of foreign arrivals in a lively state of
Kerala from just over 420000 in 2008 to around 800000 in 2012.

international tourism which in turn has turn has resulted in growth of receipts
which was 0.64% in 2002 now it is 1.65% in 2012 and India has also moved up in
terms of ranking and has moved to 12th position which was 37th
till 2002 said my DS Rawat, secretary general of Assocham.
The union should take more initiative in
growing tourism as its contribution to GDP is about6.6% and the workforce is
around 7.7% which accounts more than 6% of total investments and at the same to
tackle with current account deficit tourism is a major weapon he added.
