India is indeed a very beautiful place for a holiday. It is known for its vibrant culture and old heritage. It has been ranked 10th best for price competitiveness which means it's an ideal holiday destination if you have a certain budget. India offers a wide range of its cuisine catering to all taste buds.
One cannot forget to pay a visit to one of the 7 wonders in the world which is 'The Taj Mahal'. It is truly a beautiful spectacle specially during the sunset. However due to the deteriorating security conditions tourists are unsure of paying a visit to India. India needs to tighten its security by deploying police men in every tourist spot present in India. They should be in civil attire so that they can provide immediate help to any tourists that have to deal with harassment or theft. Moreover surveillance cameras need to be installed everywhere to keep close watch.
