INTRODUCTION:
Tourism is a most desirable human activity which is capable of changing the socio-cultural, economic
and environmental face of the World. Tourism is one of the largest and fastest growing industries in
the world; it has the potential to influence the living pattern of communities. It is one of the most
important channels of cultural exchange which breaks down the barriers between people of different
parts of the world. It is the collection of activities, services and industries that deliver a travel
experience including transportation, accommodation, eating and drinking, establishments of retail
shops, entertainment, business and other hospitality services provided for individuals or groups
travelling away from home. India is a diverse Country, with over1.3billion people following various
culture, tradition, languages, festivals, religion etc. Equally diverse are the category of tourism activity
that India offers to her people as well as to the people across the world. Such diversity owe largely to
the geographic, climatic and traditional multiplicity seen in India’s twenty-nine states and seven union
territories. In India tourism sector was considered as an important sector only after the Independence
and government has introduced various schemes and plans for its development. The policy
intervention in tourism development is quite apparent.
Development of tourism industry requires tourism planning. Tourism Planning leads to tourism
development. Tourism Planning is the process for tourism development. Planning refers to methods
and means used in making decisions about the future. Tourism Planning helps in problem solving and
arriving at decisions which help planner in achieving desired objectives. Planning for tourism is very
crucial. Several Countries of the world, especially the developing countries have lately realized the
importance of tourism and benefits which it brings out. The use of macroeconomic planning
techniques for tourism sector are relatively new .
The use of macroeconomic planning methods for national economic development which have been
largely utilized since the end of world war second, did not always cover tourism development as a
particular field.
The increasing significance of tourism as a source of income, employment generation, regional
development, foreign exchange and major factor in balance of payment for many countries has been
attracting the attention of many government as well as others with an interest in economic
development .
Tourism emerged as the largest global industry of the 20th century and is projected to grow even
faster in the 21th century. India has immense possibilities of growth in the tourism sector with vast
culture and religious heritage, varied natural attractions, but a comparatively small role in the world
tourism scene. Tourism policy strengthens the tourism sector and envisages new initiatives towards
making tourism the catalyst in employment generation, environmental regeneration, development of
remote areas and development of women and other disadvantaged groups in the country. It would
lead to larger foreign exchange earnings and create conditions for more foreign direct investment.
