Tourism is one of the fastest growing industries in the world. Every
year about 6 percent of the world population cross international
frontiers. According to a recent study, world tourism generates 15
percent of world GNP and domestic tourism is assumed to be 9 times
greater than international tourism.


According another study by World Tourism Organisation around 1.5
billion tourists will be visiting foreign countries annually by 2020,
spending US$ 5 billion everyday. Tourists arrival will grow by an
average of 4.3% a year while revenue will increase by 6.7%. It is
believed that by 2020 tourism industry would be a single biggest
industry in the world. Several Asian countries including China, India,
Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong etc will emerge as major tourist
destinations in the world...........
