India voted 7th best holiday destination

[IndianArmy]

its impossible to understand this scenario .

for some reason even the rain in bombay smell like - cow shyt. and they rank it as 7th best holiday dest.

anyways - i think india should do better with its infrastructure plans and make it more tourist friendly nation.

You have no Idea that Tourists Come to India not to see Urban India But Rural India.....

India has some of the most astounding locales in the world. The biggest pain is the lack of infrastructure. Some of the roads I have seen while traveling in the North are just scary. Besides this, the hotels are either super-expensive 5 stars or run-of-the-mill rubbish. A majority of potential travelers don't want to stay in $500 / nite place. Taj's chain like Ginger is trying to change that - but we still have a longish way to go.

Its due to the high coast of land. As i was watching a interview of Sant Singh Chatwal the famous hotler of New York and family friend of Bill & Hilary Clinton (And owner of the Bombay Palace chain of restaurants and Hampshire Hotels & Resorts) on CNBC.

He was saying that land is very costly in India that's the single biggest reason for high tariffs in India, in fact hotel tariff in India are higher then that of USA.

As for infrastructure better Airports, roads, public transport, hotels- restaurants, maintenance of monuments are getting better day by day.

But my biggest concern are law & order, touts, guides, beggars,taxi/auto drivers and stray animals. These are the biggest turn off and irritants. And if we don't do anything for these things everything falls flat.

Also, these things don't requires money just only will from the govt is required.

Take example of beggars, even govt arrest them high court objects that these are not criminals but if govt. tries to rehabilitate them by providing them work with wages + food + shelter beggars run away.

Because they have used to easy life and easy money, while begging they easily earns from rupees 300 to 1500 depending upon the location.

India is Indeed beautiful but the problem is that we dont promote it on world map.. While I see Many tourist places boast and they are nothing but a fuss.. I remember while trekking in cape town I met a lady from Europe who asked if I am from India. After getting positive nod, She said India is the best place she ever travelled and she started telling me all the places and her best place was Kufri near Shimla and Dharmashala..

I always try to cover one or another region one by one.. as far Kerala was best with greenery..

Infrastructure development is needed not to amaze the travellers with it but to provide better and hygineic living conditions.

I went till Badrinath this time but could not get a chance to go to Hemkund Sahib and Valley flowers due to old age of my parents but will surely go there next season.
