India has been called a tourist paradise. Yet there are a few problems that tourist face while in India. For instance, there is an incredible communication issue. For tourists visiting from other states and foreign countries, expressing themselves in a language they barely know is daunting. Also, knowing English is not always helpful. Besides language problems, cleanliness and hygiene, transportation, safety, etc are a few other issues thatare dragging the good name of Indian tourism to dust. India is losing many of its foreign tourists. To re-establish India as a tourist paradise the government must advertise India’s diversity and rich heritage. India is a country that may have branched out to modernism however her roots are set deep in traditions and culture. Foreign tourists appreciate these traditions a lot. One of the biggest reasons foreign tourists avoid visiting India is that they feel unsafe here. There have been instances when foreign nationals have faced harassment but could not acquire help from the locals due to communication problems. Therefore, the government must ensure the safety of foreign tourists so that they do not feel harassed in any way. Government must also enforce stringent laws to punish the perpetrators. The appointment of trained tourist guides by the government will benefit tourists as there will be a lesser chance of getting duped by fraud. Taking these and more such precautions for the interests of foreign tourists is sure to attract them to India.
