Strength
tourism

of

India

for

Country of rich heritage and traditions having a vast and

varied history.
Places of ancient civilization and settlements dating back to
several centuries present in India.
Unity in Diversity i.e.. Multicultural people staying together in
the same country.
One of the fastest growing economies of the world.
India has been maintaining good and cordial relationship with
different countries which helps the people of those countries to
get the visas easily to visit India.

Weakness
Insufficient standard hotels in the country leading to the
problem of accommodation for the visiting tourists.
Lack of proper infrastructure.
Poor health, lack of hygiene and proper sanitation among
majority of people especially in the rural parts of the country.
Incidents of local people harassing and torturing the visiting
tourists especially the foreign tourists in different parts of the
country.

Threats
Terrorism- Incidents like 26/11, 11/7 have an impact on the
psyche of the visiting tourists.
These incidents dramatically reduces the foreign tourist
arrivals in India.
The increasing Naxalite activities and constant Maoist attacks
in the country is not helping the cause either.
Diseases in recent years such as Dengue, Chikungunya and
Swine Flu are causing the tourists to stay away from visiting
different parts of the country.
Increasing competition from other exotic countries. ExSingapore, Hong Kong etc.
