The tourism sector is one of the fastest-growing parts of India’s economy. It not only creates millions of jobs but also supports regional development and boosts many related industries. Both domestic and international travellers are playing a big role in driving this growth. The industry was hit hard during the COVID-19 pandemic but has recovered steadily and, in some areas, has even crossed pre-COVID levels.
Let us explore the growth and potential of India’s tourism industry on the occasion of World Tourism Day, September 27, through this visual guide.

Wrapping Up
India’s tourism industry is expanding rapidly and making a strong contribution to the economy. Weddings, religious trips, medical tourism, and leisure travel are driving both domestic and international visitor spending. The sector is not only creating significant employment but also supporting allied industries like hospitality, transport, food, and retail.
India has also gained a strong global position, accounting for 1.45% of international arrivals and 2.1% of worldwide tourism receipts.
Rising spending by domestic and foreign tourists, strong government support, and growing global interest in India’s culture and heritage are propelling this growth. With new investments and policies in place, tourism is set to generate millions of jobs and play a much bigger role in shaping India’s economic future.
