foreign exchange receipts, number of hotels and availability of rooms, tourists of

different age and their expenses during their trips to Gujarat, number of airports, sources

of foreign currency from different countries, Top 10 states with reference to number of

the period of 2002 to 2012. If number of touirsts are observed during the period, there is

continues rise in number of tourists visited to Gujarat. It is observed that number of

tourists visited to Gujarat in the year of 2002-03 were around 61 lacks which increased to

about more then 2 crores. It shows high potential for Gujarat to get more number of

tourists to Gujarat in future course.

On the other hand third column of the table no.1 indicates number of NRI and

foreigners visited to Gujarat in the year of 2002 to 2012. . In the year of 2002-03 number

of NRI and foreigners was about 65 thousand which increased to about 4 lacks in the year

may be responsible for a smaller rise.

industry in world. Number of tourists arrived in world is about 683 million ant about 109

79

million in the year of 2000 in Asia and Pacific region. It is to be noted that number of

tourists visited to India is 2.65 million during the same period. It means India enjoys only

0.39 per cent share in number of tourists in global tourism industry where as India enjoys

about 2.42 per cent portion in tourism industry in specifically Asia and Pacific region.

Chart no. 8.1 indicates the data of tourists arrivals in world as well as in Asia and Pacific

5.28 million. Moreover , India contributed highest in the year of 2008 in tourism industry

Table 9 helps to realize the comparison of tourism industry of Gujarat with other

states. This helps to know the number of tourists visited to different states of India. It

should be noted that Gujarat fails to achieve it stands in Top 10 in number of tourists

arrived in India.

stands at second with 3.37 million tourists and with contribution of 17.3 million in total

number of tourists visited India. Kerala enjoys share of 3.8 per cent tourists out of total

tourists to India in the year 2011.

One thing should be noted that total contribution of Top 10 states with more

number of tourists is registered about 90%. That means other governments including

82

Gujarat are less aggressive compared to these 10 states to have more piece of cake in the

field of tourism in the year of 2011.
