Subject: Scope for tourism in my city, Meerut.
Dear Sir
I'm a resident of Meerut and off late I have come to realize that being a city of great historical importance, there is a tremendous potential for tourism. Tourism is a booming industry which not only adds to our Gross National Income but it also generates employment for our youth. An important place from where the first war of independence saw its dawn has become a victim of the apathy of our government and indifference of the people.
Though there is a host of temples, the upkeep of its historical importance can lend it a prominent tourist place. Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and Museum are the examples how we can sensitize our youth towards issues of great importance. Similarly, more avenues should be planned to develop tourism in this small city of Uttar Pradesh. At the same time, people need to be more tourist friendly to make them feel comfortable in a foreign land.
I request you to please allow some space for my letter in your newspaper so that my voice reaches the authorities and people to review the prospects and promote tourism in my city.
Thank you
Yours truly

Subject: Untapped Tourism Potential in Ludhiana
Sir:
I write this letter to bring the attention of the people as well as the State Tourism Ministry to the untapped tourism potential in Ludhiana. The Lodhi fort, Sutlej River near Phillaur, PAU, Rose Garden, and Hareela Amusement Park have immense tourism potential. Since Ludhiana is a world renowned industrial city, thousands of foreign and national industrialists visit for trade and business. Owning to lack of tourism related facilities such as world class hotels, state-of-the-art transport facilities, lack of international airport, etc. are some of the facilities that discourage the tourists from staying long in the city.
Tourism plays a key role in the development of local as well national economy. Tourism helps create an impetus to economic activities which in turn draw investment, revenue, and economic growth. New shops, hotels, travelling facilities, malls, plazas, and other developmental activities begin to take shape because of tourism. Local residents benefit through the services that rise naturally in demand due to economic activities generated by tourism such as learning and recreational activities. All advanced nations have fairly developed tourism and related infrastructure.
Through the columns of your esteemed daily I appeal to the people and concerned authorities to promote tourism in the city. The government must create world class tourism facilities in the city; and the local people must treat the tourists as gods. They must practice the precept of ‘Athiti Devo Bhava’ I hope you will give due place to my views in your esteemed daily.
Thanking you,
Yours truly,
