India: Earnings from statue of Unity

[Chakar The Great]

Number of visitors at the #StatueOfUnity in the first three days

Friday: 2737 visitors (₹ 5.5 Lakh)
Saturday: 2299 visitors (₹4 Lakh)
Sunday: 7710 visitors (₹19.1 Lakh)

Total revenue from first three days is only ₹28.6 Lakh.

If this the rate at which visitors come, only ₹35 crore will be earned every year.

That means it will take 85+ years to recover all the money spent on the statue

Where are Indians telling me that they will generate massive amount of revenue out of it??? Even the money that is being spent by tourists on the statue in reality is only a diversion from other tourists attraction. No additional income is being added to the system from tourism.

Realistically speaking.
You'll only make the money for the first week from general public...
and then, its just gonna sit there and thats it.

it is 4 hours of drive from nearest city & to be honest it isnt a beautiful statue either .

This number high initially due to the newness..it will drastically reduce after the curiosity is over.

The statue doesn't look great. May be paint it, open up restaurants or other tourist amenities on the site to give people more reasons to visit.

Though not supporting it, but its not a business deal to make money out of.

The statue is in remembrance of a great man - one who brought together more than 500 provinces under one entity and is known as the Iron Man of India. No real Indian would care if the statue made money or not. The man deserves to be remembered in the grandest way possible.

Built on Narmada bank. Close to Patel was born. More over the Sardar Sarovar of close by. Modi is an astute businessman. he wants people to come to villages and lift up the economy there.
