What?

From the snow clad mountains in the North to the desert areas of Rajasthan to the beaches of Goa, India is a

thriving because of religious tourism.
The other attractions include beautiful beaches, forests and wildlife, and landscapes for ecotourism, snow,
river and mountain peaks for adventure tourism, technological parks and science museums for science
tourism, centres of pilgrimage for spiritual tourism, heritage trains and hotels for heritage tourism. The Indian
handicrafts particularly jewelleries, carpets, leather goods, ivory and brass work are the main shopping items

connectivity to important tourist destinations, four-lane roads connecting important
tourist centres and increasing availability of accommodation by adding heritage
hotels to the hotel industry and encouraging paying guest accommodation. But
much more remains to be done, if India is to become a world player in the tourism
industry.
