Answers
There are many benefits involved in travel and tourism. Tourists generate lots of economic activities.
Firstly, historic buildings help create vibrant, cultural downtowns that engender tourism, art, festivals, and other activities which in turn draw investment, revenue, and economic growth. A dynamic historic downtown can be the hub of community life: a place to shop, invest, create and live. Simultaneously, preservation can be a tool to boost economy and quality of life. Local residents benefit through the services that rise naturally in demand due to economic activities generated by tourism such as learning and recreational activities.
The second benefit of travelling and tourism is the economic and public benefits that act as powerful tools in sustaining local economy, creating jobs, and even generating capital. The aesthetic, cultural and historical benefits of tourism are well known, but now, communities are realizing that there are positive economic effects also. Can you just imagine how much wealth India earns from foreign tourists that visit Taj Mahal, Delhi, and Rajasthan? Some of the old historical buildings have been converted into heritage hotels? Thousands of people get employment and jobs due to the tourism that is boosted by the preservation of forts and other historical monuments.
The third benefit that we derive from tourism is the positive image that is formed in the eyes of the foreign and local tourists. Well maintained and preserved forts and buildings send a positive message to the visitors about our caring and organized national character. This not only helps in winning over the confidence of the foreigners, but also gives boost to self-confidence. We must promote tourism and maintain our historical buildings and give them new look!
We must improve the standard of facilities, safety, hospitality, and other areas related to tourism. There is no denying the fact that India has a huge potential of tourism industry. However, the standard of facilities provided needs to be improved further. We must provide world class facilities to foreign as well as local tourists.
Special tourism packages, e-visa facilities, better transport, boarding, lodging facilities, etc. will surely attract more tourists.
