My ideas to increase the image of India as a destination of tourism

We stay in a date wherein scrolling through our social media feeds we encounter the most stunning landscapes that leave us enthralled, excited and on occasion, feeling low as we have not been to the heavenly locations on Earth. Most of the people I've interacted with have shown a similar Passion for tourism which hides in me. A tourist life is one in which, no matter which nook of the sector you belong to, you get to experience more than one cultures and revel in the maximum enjoyable vacations, on every occasion in a brand new atmosphere. I don’t know approximately you, however I have already got a listing of locations I want to go to before I no more belong to this world.

I know it is not everyone's cup of tea to journey to the captivating lands which can be the souls calling, however we Indians are fortunate to belong to a country that has all of the landscapes, cultures, historical sites and various mouth-watering cuisines altogether in a single blessed land. From the greenery that eventually offers me a break from the busy city life, to the water bodies which leave me wanting to sail away with the water currents, all of it! I find in my country. I recall my experience in the heavenly land of Kashmir, from the clean and beautiful lake Nigeen to the meadow of flowers in Gulmarg, I saw and met the most wonderful sights and people those which made me want to stay, I shall now no longer neglect to mention the Kashmiri chai made with loads of spices which brings warmth to the soul in the depth of winter.

I also haven’t forgotten how princess like women looked, dressed in the Kashmiri attire, the feran, however I'm not certain if it was better than the ghagra Choli I saw women wearing, when I visited Rajasthan. And o yeah, the Amber Palace is a must visit! In India I have visited the Chamundeshwari temple in Mysore and the Saint Paul's cathedral in Kolkata.

With all of what India has in a single land it is surprising that India nonetheless lies thirty fourth at the vacationer appeal listing, However the rapid development and newly rising sites in our country is leading us to an even brighter future. I opine if we were to have more than one tourism sites and amusing locations to go to in each State, we will boom the tourist attractions.

The historic town in the district of Nalanda in Bihar ‘Rajgir’ “the city of Kings”, has attracted tourists because of its holy sites for years, yet the attraction quadrupled recently, when the glass bridge was built and people had more exciting things to do in the town.

The immense mausoleum of white marble, the Taj Mahal standing majestically on the banks of river Yamuna, is a magnet that attracts the tourists from across the globe. Yet it’s funny how even though the site has never failed to blow away the minds of the tourists, it has their little one’s bored. As children would rather spend their time in rides and play grounds, jumping around than get fascinated by a monument. I suggest if we were to build aqua parks or amusement parks around the area then, even the little ones will enjoy their time and leave their parents to explore peacefully.

Another thing that we must look into, is the travelling time which can really be annoying sometimes. If we were to solve this problem, by establishing metro rail services in all our states, we ourselves and visitors would save a lot of time and energy that goes into all the travelling. New metro rail systems are under construction in various cities, which is a mood brightening news.
