India's Tourism Industry is lagging far behind international norms
Goa, as we stand and speak, is far behind other lucrative international tourist destinations. As author Chetan Bhagat put it, taxi vendors charge excessively high rates to pick and drop passengers, which creates a bad experience for consumers.
28% TAX is levied by restaurants. This is way too much. Thailand imposes 8% tax as GST and India too must reduce the tax imposed, at least temporarily to attract foreign tourists and visitors. Touts defrauding tourists alienate the image of the country, thus forcing tourists to explore other options available in other countries worldwide.
Indian Tourism Industry potentially attracts millions of visitors every year. Promising states that yield attractive dividends year on year include Himachal Pradesh, Delhi, Maharashtra, Goa, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttarakhand. However, tourists who visit India always complain about something.
It can be the temperament of Indian people towards foreigners or the cheap rates that add to the excitement of foreign people. While it's only reasonable to state that inflation has risen rapidly in India and digital payments have infiltrated across the entire Indian region very speedily, thereby promoting tourism and transparency. Banks and financial entities can easily regulate expenses and track everything that an individual exposes themselves to.
Government individuals investing in crypto currencies and online betting are kept under the radar by Income Tax Department. This ensures that the money is being spent on legal services. Every broker is required to provide accurate information to government sources when asked to comply with the rules and regulations.
In order to improve the tourism industry, India must focus on providing value to the travelers. Excessive hikes and unreasonable tactics should be reduced to improve the experience of travelers. Travelers expect their time in the country to be worth the risk and time they took.
