Free sample essay on Tourism as an Industry in India. Tourism brings in much revenue to a State or a country. The tourism industry needs to be promoted by much advertisement.
Unless a State or a country advertises about the places of tourist interest, people in other States or foreigners may not know about the charms of tourist centers. Ooty and Kodaikanal are famous hill resorts and they are known throughout India and abroad. So tourists throng these places in summer and enjoy the cool climate there.

The Himachal Pradesh State has many tourist attractions. The snow-clad Himalayas are of perennial charm and persons who can withstand the cold climate can visit the Himalayan towns and villages and go for sightseeing with the help of tourist guides. Some visit the Calash Mountain which has a singular majesty and beauty. Some travel to Kedarnath and Baronet where there are temples for Lord Siva and Lord Vishnu. But travel to these places has to be done sometimes riding on ponies and it is very chill all the way. So only persons with sound health can travel up the Himalayas. Tibet is also a place of great tourist interest. But a visit to Tibet involves much planning and expenditure and it is possible only to a few to go to the regions like Tibet. A visit to Nepal rewards one with many pleasant experiences. There are umpteen places of tourist interest and we should have an interest in visiting at least some of them.
