India is a beautiful and exotic country with colorful traditions and centuries of history. However, the country can be difficult to maneuver for a tourist visiting India. Much of India’s infrastructure has not been updated since the British left in 1947, so transportation and facilities, while available, have yet to be modernized. If India wants to establish itself as a solid travel destination and increase tourism, government and business should take steps to make the country more hospitable to foreign travelers. Below are some suggestions as to how to accomplish that.

While India is very modern when it comes to engineering, medicine and technology, its infrastructure and public services are antiquated or nonexistent. In both big cities and small villages, open sewers and inadequate plumbing are widespread. Mounds of garbage along the sides of the road are common. Public restroom facilities, even if available, are poorly maintained. Often the only sanitary amenities available are at big luxury hotels. India needs to improve its public services and foster basic hygiene if it wants to appeal to the foreign tourist. This means modernizing its sewer systems to stop the spread of disease, creating more public housing to get rid of the shantytowns and implementing regular trash disposal measures. Once India cleans up, it will be a more inviting place to visit.

Water quality is also inconsistent. With improper sewage treatment and no curbs on water polluters, potable water for drinking and cooking is difficult to come by. Outbreaks of waterborne diseases, such as cholera and dysentery, are common, especially in rural villages with few clean water practices.
