Why Atithi Devo Bhavah?
Last year we had 3.3 million visitors, but when you consider that Singapore gets 7 million a year. Thailand 9.6 million a year. Malaysia 11.5 million.
There is no reason why we can’t aim to increase our numbers by 100%. And that too would be just a beginning. However to do this we need to change our attitude towards those who visit us. Often tourists are Mistreated, Cheated and rudely dealt with.
It’s simple logic, if someone in a house is rude to you, as a guest, you don’t encourage your friends and relations to go there.
This is perhaps the reason why in spite of an incredible wealth of Tourist spots, Cultural Attractions, Natural Wonders and Destinations for the soul, India still isn’t amongst the top 15 tourist destinations Of the world. The time has definitely come to get together to change this.
To change our attitude.
We’ve lost touch with the hospitality we were famous for. Now it’s a time that we make an effort to make it a part of
