India’s National Tourism Day is celebrated on January 25. It was established by the Indian government to promote the tourism industry and recognize its contribution to the growth and sustainability of tourist destinations and local communities.
India’s rich history and cultural and geographical diversity make the country one of the most popular tourist destinations among foreign travellers. It offers various forms of tourism, including cultural, heritage, cruise, nature, educational, business, sports, rural, medical, and eco-tourism. National policies for the promotion and development of tourism are designed and carried out by the Ministry of Tourism.
According to statistics, over 7.7% of Indian employees work in the tourism industry. Every year, the country is visited by millions of foreign tourists (for instance, 7.42 million in 2014).
