Dr. Laveena T. Dharmwani

Abstract :

Tourism industry has been defined as a leisure industry and smokeless industry. This industry is considered one of the ancient industries of the world and primarily, tourism was only confined to Rulers or Kings of the nations and some enterprising men travelled in search of God or for pilgrimage purposes. The concept of modern tourism is relatively new in its approach. With the growth of science and technology and revolutionary changes that have been taken place in the field of transportation and communication have contributed massively to the development of tourist trade all over the world. Tourism industry in India is on a great boom at the moment. India has tremendous potential to become a major global tourist destination and Indian tourism industry is exploiting this potential to the hilt. A state like Rajasthan has all the ingredients and elements to become a model state for tourism in the country. It is sad fact for Rajasthan that the vehicle of culture, heritage and tradition is still being denied national recognition. This article cover all major aspects relating to tourism industry in India and Rajasthan and throw light on challenges and opportunities face by tourism industry in Rajasthan and represent statistics of domestic and foreign tourist arrival in Rajasthan.
