Your city/town/village has a tremendous potential for tourism but it is a victim of government apathy and people's indifference. Write a letter to the Editor of a local English newspaper to highlight the problem and to call for a government-public initiative to bring the city/town/village on the tourism map of the country
In your letter you should describe :-
•why your city/town/village is important
(e.g. rich history, diverse culture and natural beauty, famous art and craft; unique community; a monument)
•what potential it has for tourism and how tourism will benefit it
(more employment to local people; boost to local arts, handicrafts, textiles and jewellery; development and
protection of local eco-systems)
•what steps can be taken to develop tourism here
(build accommodation, transport and food joints; route domestic and international tourism here; focus in print,
electronic and social media; provide road and rail connectivity; organise festivals and fairs)

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
