Support19. Why is tourism considered a trade as well as an industry |
|
Answer» "Tourism' is considered as a trade and industry in India because of the substantial growth it has experienced in the past three decades coupled with an increase in the arrival of foreign tourists. As tourism in the form of trade as well as industry has flourished at a fast pace (bringing in high amounts of foreign exchange), it employs more than 15 million people, who are directly engaged in the tourism sector. Tourism not only promotes national integration and provides support to the local handicrafts and cultural pursuits but it also helps in the development of international understanding about our rich culture and heritage, thereby attracting foreign tourists. |
