The ministry of tourism is reportedly in talks with the home ministry on ways to deal with touts who harass tourists. One option under consideration is to make touching a tourist a criminal offence. It is a measure of the kind of harassment that foreign tourists can be subjected to in India that the government has to consider explicitly stating — through legislation — that unwarranted touching is unacceptable. Tourists often weigh the dread alongside the grandeur of India before deciding to visit it. Governments and travel writers offer stern warnings to women travellers, asking them to watch what they wear, avoid talking to strangers and going out at night. The effects of our tarnished reputation are beginning to tell. Travel associations in Agra report a decrease in tourist inflow, which they attribute to the influence of touts. Anyone travelling by private vehicle to Fatehpur Sikri can attest to touts pursuing vehicles on motorcycles well before they reach Emperor Akbar’s palace. New Delhi has reportedly seen a 30% decline in visits to historical monuments. India got 6.9 million tourists in 2013 while Thailand and Spain welcomed 26 million and 60 million respectively.
