Abstract

Travel and tourism are major economic drivers in the majority of the world's countries. The main aim of the study is to find out why people go to the SurajKund Crafts Fair in Faridabad. The tourism and hospitality industry ranks among India's top employers and has been a significant contributor to the country's foreign exchange earnings (FEE). The third tourism satellite account (TSA3) for the 2019–20 fiscal year shows that tourism contributed 15.34% to employment. Pushkar Fair in Rajasthan, SurajKund Crafts Mela of Haryana, Diwali, and Holi are a few significant fairs and festivals of India. This chapter used secondary means for its source of data. It is believed that SurajKund is a spectacular example of the fusion of Indian culture, art, traditions, folklore, and music with the ethos of other cultures with tranquil and musical events. The Mela is in fact a keeper of legacy crafts using age-old techniques that are disappearing owing to low-quality machine imitations, and a particular section is set aside for presenting these crafts.
