Abstract

Indian tourism is rich with culture, heritage, ecology, and natural beauty across the country. The tourism sector plays a vital role for foreign exchange earnings and gross domestic product (GDP) in India. India's travel and tourism business ranks 7th internationally, contributing almost 9.6% to GDP, and is expected to rise 6.9% annually over the next decade to rank 4th. This will have a multiplier effect on India's socio-economic progress via improved infrastructure, job creation, and skill development. India was ranked 10th among 185 countries in 2019. India is a globally and digitally advanced nation in term of planning, booking, and positive experience for travel and tour. Indian middle class people's disposable income is increasing, which creates a positive impact on outbound tourism. The Indian travel market is projected to grow to US$125 billion by 2027. This study identifies best practices and the need for sustainable tourism in India's growth.
