India is not a rich country and many people feel that India is good for budget travelers. May be, India is ideal for budget tourists as compared to the western countries, life in India is very inexpensive. However, this matter is not keeping the high spending tourists from coming to India in large number. I am quoting from a Times of India repot:
“India in 2005, according to World Tourism Organisation data, earned an average of around $1,500 from every foreign tourist who came here in 2005. That’s almost three times the $556 they spend in France, the top tourist destination of the world. It’s also nearly twice the global average earnings of $844 per foreign tourist.
India’s north-eastern neighbour China had about 47 million tourists visiting the country in 2005, streets ahead of the less than 4 million that came to India, but when it comes to forex earnings per tourist, China’s average of $626 pales in comparison.Average per tourist foreign exchange earnings for another neighbour which attracts a lot of tourists, Sri Lanka, are around $1,000.”
It is amazing that tourists in India spend so much money. Here are 5 reasons why India is ideal for high-spending tourists.
- India is a vast country and it has many tourist attractions. So, it is natural that when you come here you spend some time and money to enjoy as many tourist destinations as possible.
- The major Indian cities are not cheap. Living there according to a western life style is a bit too expensive. Yes, India is cheap for Indian families who live in a small flat without too many gadgets.
- India has a number of high quality international hotels and staying there will cost you some good money.
- India is perhaps the best place for shopping. Here, you can buy all kinds of things.
- India is also ideal for health tourism and many patients come to India from neighboring countries for treatment for every year.
