Travel and tourism - rapidly growing business
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the very beginning of human race, we always traveled from one part of the world to another. At the initial stage of the first civilizations, people were forced to travel by their nomadic way of life. Over the time, reasons for traveling changed exceedingly, since people didn't need to move from place to place in order to look for food. They found other reasons - looking for a job, adrenaline, entertainment or just the sheer pleasure of exploring the world and its timeless monuments. This was the reason for development of tourism - industry, creating opportunities for people to travel wherever they wish to go to.
According to recent data released by Indian government on the revenue generated by this category of business has multiplied several times from the last decade figures. With the evolution of new service class in India, more Indians like to travel in and out the India. Now a day apart from the pilgrimage, Indians are also going for pleasure trip. Last year total 65 million Indians visited different part of the India alone, where as total 5 million Indian went abroad for exotic places. The revenue generated by tourism is quite huge and gives employment to Lakhs of Indian directly and or indirectly. Previously Tourism is considered only as seasonal business, and were not taken seriously by people .Now it has get a status of an industry. Government of India is also reaping benefits by promoting tourism. Each and every state of India now has their own tourism department to help tourist and maintain tourist places in their jurisdiction. Moving with the wind many company has come up in the market for tourism. They are not only helpful for the tourist but also provide their own tourism package. Indian government also with the help of railways started many tourist special trains like Palace on wheels, Deccan Express, Royal Rajasthan on the wheels etc to help and generate the revenue from the booming tourism business. Opportunity in the business of this kind has not only bring new dimensions to the market but also open doors for different kind of tourism types viz Medical tourism, Village tourism, Tribal tourism, etc. This change in the market will not only give an opportunity to explore unorthodox places but also gives different kind of experience to tourist. Trains like palace on wheels and Deccan express are booked an year ago and giving huge profits to governments. The Profits generated by this category of business is unparallel to any other type. When a person went for travel he always spent a bit considering the objectivity of expense.
In India alone revenue generated by tourism has already crossed $ 10 billion mark and still it growing at decent pace. Some states in India like Rajasthan, Tamilnadu , Maharastra, Uttar Pradesh is well known for their tourist places around the world. Every year thousand of foreigners travel these places. When a person travel to other place, he/ she not only get pleasure but also bring culture and tradition of that place. If they satisfied, they will not only promote the quality and attitude of residents of that particular place but also buy something belong to that place,which will result into revenue and provide employment to local artisans . We have to behave friendly to tourists as in our culture we consider attithi devo bahya (guests are god).

Hey friends, let me say some nice words about travel and tours. All of us need some travel and tours really in our lives too.
"Travel far enough, you meet yourself.” ― David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas
Travel is the activity of making journey to another geographical location other than where we live. Travel is one of the important activities of our life. We are compelled to travel often because of family functions, meeting friends, and attend official duties. We travel for pleasure on excursions and for visiting touristic places.
continuing further on:
“Travel brings power and love back into your life.” ― Rumi
Travel is an important diversion for us from daily mundane routine. Travel teaches us many things that we cannot learn from residing at a place. Travel enriches our knowledge and increases our wisdom. Travel costs some amount. One needs to take precautions and needs to make plans for the journey. However, it is worth making all the arrangements and traveling.
“I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move.” ― Robert Louis Stevenson
What about touring and tourism?
Tourism is travelling to various popular touristic and heritage locations in the state, country or world. Tourism helps us to learn the good history and rich cultural heritage that our ancestors have given us. Tourism helps us to learn our own land.
We can really enjoy tourism as various facilities are provided at each location. The hotels, conveyance, restaurants and public transport etc. All one has to do is to book well in advance for all the facilities. It costs a lot, but tourism allows one to see what we study in our lessons. We learn a lot of practical issues, see different cultures, interacting with people of multiple back grounds and manners.
Most of the employees are given a chance to take a tour along with their family by a scheme called Leave travel Allowance. One can get all the information on the touristic spots through internet, or by contact government tourism department, or travel agencies.
In India, travel and tourism is not so convenient as that in developed countries. There are many shortcomings that are to be corrected by the ministry of tourism, so that the tourism industry will grow and make profit. Many foreigners are not interested in Indian tourism due to risks of infection and dirtiness.
Conclusion :
In India people make a lot of tours to various pilgrimage centers and big towns and cities. The tourism to isolated heritage centers is perhaps not the first choice. Is it enough that we boast ourselves of India and its greatness. But we do not visit our own heritage and remember our ancestors great deeds and constructions. Let us make a promise to ourselves that we will do tours and travel that enlightens us and makes us proud of being Indians.
