Domestic Tourism in India is something that has been on a constant rise in the past couple of decades. The growth has been so rapid that in the most recent numbers, the country saw almost a 45% rise in the last 3-4 years. Now given that tourism was on a halt during the pandemic, it might seem that this just looks like that the tourism is resuming and the numbers may not reveal the actual truth. But what if I told you, that all of the growth is actually compared to the pre-pandemic era!

Domestic Tourism is a huge industry in India – even dozen-folds bigger that international tourism. On an estimate, Indians spend over a 150 Billion in USD on domestic tourism, only third, behind China and Japan in the Asia-Pacific region. Here’s a cool little fact – even after being a big ground for international tourism, if it stopped for a while, it wouldn’t put a dent into India’s economy, because the Domestic Tourism actually makes up for it and then some! Let’s read about this growth in domestic tourism in India using Sakleshpur, Karnataka as an example.

What factors are involved in this Growth!

There are many factors and reasons that come into play when we talk about the rise of Domestic Tourism. Some of the biggest factors that have contributed majorly to this rise are the increase in the average income and the emergence of a much more dynamic middle class!

Look at it this way – India is going through a phase where most of its citizens are young adults, who are just getting into the earning stages of their life. Someone like them, who has been around this tourism culture throughout their childhood will see it as quite normal to spend some time and money on travelling, albeit domestically. Now compare it to the previous generations where middle class would rather work to save their money, not spend it on “pointless” things like travel.

Other major reasons include the provision of a better tourism infrastructure! The industry of tourism has put in some serious efforts to build a better tourism infrastructure which has resulted in a boost in popularity.  We were discussing Sakleshpur – the infrastructure to welcome and promote tourism to this place, has been a huge factor in the recent growth of popularity of this place as a holiday destination. Be it families, friends, coworkers, or solo traveler, this place is perfect for anyone and everyone!
