India is known among modern travelers for its colorful culture, rich history, beautiful landscapes and breathtaking architecture, but the country wasn't always a popular tourist destination. As recently as 2003, India was receiving fewer than 3 million foreign tourist arrivals each year, but the numbers have changed drastically since then. Foreign tourist arrival numbers in 2017 exceeded 10 million, and analysts expect to see more than 15 million tourists visiting India annually by 2025. India's rapidly growing tourism sector now plays a huge role in the nation's economy, supporting tens of millions of jobs and generating billions of dollars each year.
Economic Contributions
In 2017, tourism generated about $230 billion in India, making up 9.4 percent of the country's gross domestic product, and the tourism and hospitality sector is among the top 10 sectors in the Indian economy attracting foreign investments. On top of that, tourism and hospitality supported nearly 42 million jobs in 2017. The sector is expected to only keep expanding from here, with India projected to make the world's top five business travel markets by 2030 and its tourism sector predicted to generate $490 billion per year by 2028.
The Indian government is leaning into this boom in tourism by investing in the market, hoping to attract international hotel chains and foreign spending in an effort to continue growing the nation's economy. The government signed a $40 million loan agreement with the World Bank for a tourism development project, and the 2018-2019 budget for the country allots nearly $200 million for the development of tourist circuits.
Visas for India
Most travelers who hope to witness the beauty of India for themselves – while also contributing to the nation's developing economy – have to jump through some hoops before making the trip. Citizens of most countries are required to obtain a tourist visa from their local Indian embassy or consulate before they can travel to India, and until recently, the visa application process was relatively cumbersome and only possible in person or by mail. However, in 2014, the Indian government introduced an online method of applying for a tourist visa, available to 40 countries across the globe, including the United States.
