Q.2. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow!
1. India can really become a tourist's paradise on Earth as we bave so much to offer to
the visitors. No other country in the world possesses so much variety. The breathtaking
beauty of the Himalayas, its valleys and rivers, the numerous wildlife sanctuaries dotted all
over the country, our still unspoilt sea beaches with their pain fringes, our great temples
and caves and historical monuments, our music and dance, our festivals and national
celebrations, would attract any tourist in the world. They are all our potential foreign
exchange earners
2. It we wish to cam more from our founsis, we must build up more infrastructure
The Government of India has intensifies efforts to build more hotels in the country. Those
in the hotel business are allowed to have foreign collaborations. Our hotels must offer such
facilities are foreigners love these are 24-hour service, swimming pools, tennis courts, club
houses, massage centres, indoor and outdoor restaurants playgrounds for children dance
floor with live music in season and so on. These would make for an exciting tour
3. The Government is also providing new and better facilities. It would do us good if
certain imitants connected with customs formalities could also be removed.
4. But tourism is everybody's business as all benefit from it Wealth flows from
affluent countries to the less affluent. Within the country itself it moves from the developed
areas to the loss developed ones. It flows from the rich to the poor, thus producing a better
distribution of wealth Private agencies can do a lot to promote the tourist trade in this
country. They can arrange group tours for foreigners on a large scale. Those selling goods
to the tourists should not charge them higher rates. Even a humble taxi driver can do
something for tourism if he does not cheat a visitor.
5. So let us give the tourist the facilities he is used to in his own country. If he goes
home imitated and unhappy, he will surely discourage others from visiting our country. We
will lose a friend and also some foreign exchange. But if the tourist is satisfied with the
facilities offered to him, what he tells his people back home will do publicity for us. Then
others would also be tempted to come to our country when we say, "Welcome to India"
