Think About itMany of us plan holidays, at least once a year. The first choice goes to a

destination abroad. And the main reason is peer pressure. If another friend or afamily member has gone, this also influences. In his Independence Daymessage, PM Modi talked in detail on domestic tourism - and asked all to visit 15destinations by 2022.When we go abroad, the money spent improves its economy.When we use domestic destinations it improves our economy - gives jobs.

We crib of poor facilities, cleanliness, etc. But rightly pointed out by PM that ifmore people visit, this situation will improve too. India is fortunate to havethousands of destinations - sea, mountains, jungles, waterfalls, etc. If wepromote, if we help improve the environment even tourists from abroad will comein abundance. Enjoy destinations abroad too, but do not neglect domesticones. - Vijay Maroo
