Nirmay Bansal: Khajuraho Dance Festival, Lokrang Festival, Lohri celebration etc are not the only known festival which attracts tourism, but small festival, local cultural event and annual celebration in Rural places is a Big opportunity to attracts tourism. For this the State wise tourist booklet should be available for free to Tourist online and in Tourist information centers. Book should contain festival name, description, history, and number of attendee in last few years, pictures and etc.

Write a Travelogue on your journey across India
Sai Shanker: The might of the Himalayas, the reverberating sound of the Ganga all throughout the journey (Ganga is clean all throughout!!!!), the divine shrines of Kedarnath and Badrinath where you will be up close and personal with God, the enthralling and refreshing bath in the hot srpings and lastly the enjoyable tea at the last tea shop of India are the major reasons for which I chose to write this.

Sriram Warrier: It was in 2013 in middle of the scorching summer heat (in the month of May),I got a news from my school that some students were going to Himachal Pradesh for trekking. The trekking was having aduration of 10 days and was conducted by ATAL BIHARI INSTITUTE OF MOUNTAINEERING, DHARAMSALA. I gave my name to participate in this program. Its because it will be a change to stay away from the hot season as I live in Kerala. And also a great chance to explore the north.

I am a tourism professional and working last 11 years in the industry. I did my Ph.D in this field. My ideas are as follows –
Need to introduce a District Tourism Officer in every district for the benefit tourist as well as build infrastructure, law and order
The District Tourism Officers should have MBA (Tourism) or similar qualifications those who understand modern day tourism from theoritical as well as industrial aspects
It is one of the most important sector which can change rural India
The country India IS THE REAL PLACE TO ENJOY CULTURE AND ART ACOORDING TO KNOWLEDGE AND FACTS ALL OVER THE WORLS NO OTHER COUNTRY IS BETTER THAN THE INDIA IN FIELD OF TOURISM THE WONDERFUL GIFT GIVEN BY THE GOD TO INDIA IS UTS ART AND CULTURE . ALL WE WANT TO SAY ENCOURAGE TOURISM ENCOURAGE INDIA
The soul of India is its culture. The ASI is although working for the preservation and conservation of the various archaeological monuments but it is neglecting the preservation of those sites which are located in the mountainous regions of country. Moreover, outside India, there are certain sites that belong to Indian history like the grave of brave Rajput king and last hindu king of Delhi- Prithviraj Chauhan. His grave is disgraced by Afghani locals which is an insult to Indian heritage.
Mysore the heritage city of India so illuminated in the time of dasara .but due to drought there are festivities at all .It is one of the greatest examples of Indian heritage.The funds are not divided properly so the places doesn’t have the charm of Mysorean heritage .We mysoreans take pride of our heritage but this time nothing doing .please help us save our Mysorean heritage.Please prove this heritagious site as Incredible India.
In order to make domestic tourism attractive, make the LTA non-taxable every year. The entire amount of LTA should be made non-taxable and not just the return train, bus or air fare. Further, the taxation on tourism i.e. hotels, tour operators etc should be brought down which will encourage people to travel to places within India. It costs much less to travel abroad on a holiday as compared to within India. This is mainly due to huge taxes levied which needs to be reviewed.
Concept of smart cities has been very much appreciated by all Indian citizens but every Indian will feel happy when smart cities are built.
Implementation of the same is very important and instead of routing funds through State Govt., Central monitoring agency must be established. Each smart city must be headed by CEO (having good credentials) with some staff.
CEO must be held responsible for developing smart cities and all govt. departments would honor the instructions of CEO. All bills/orde
LTC for Govt. employees should be made an yearly affair instead of once in four years. The money given to an employee as LTC comes back to Govt. In fact more than the amount given off as LTC comes back to Govt. LTC merely covers the to and fro fare but a tourist that visits a place not only spends on transportation also on local travelling, lodging, food and purchases also. This way the tourists spots will get more business meaning more revenue collection by the Govt. and more local jobs.
By keeping our surroundings clean we are able to increase tourism in India.
