Tourism

International and domestic tourism industry contributes more to India s GDP than its textile sector. India attracted 6.85 million international tourist arrivals and $18.4 billion in foreign exchange earnings from tourism receipts in 2013. Tourism to India has seen a steady growth, year on year, from 4.45 million arrivals in 2006 to nearly 7 million arrivals in 2013. The United States is the largest source of international tourists to India, while European Union nations and Japan are other major sources of international tourists. Less than 10 Percent of international tourists visit the Taj Mahal, with majority visiting other cultural, thematic and holiday circuits. Over 12 million Indian citizens take international trips each year for tourism, while domestic tourism within India adds about 740 million Indian travelers. The combined international and domestic tourism contributed 5.92 Percent of India s GDP, and 9.3 Percent to its employment in 2011. India has a fast growing medical tourism sector of its health care economy offering low cost health and long term care.
