India Tour during Commonwealth Games

India is all set to welcome her prestigious guests of the Commonwealth Games, scheduled from 3 Oct to 14 Oct 2010. The country, which has host a number of international events including several sports events, is going to witness the most spectacular show of the century in those days. The show is expected to attract over 100,000 visitors to India. Given this fact, Indian tourism sector is at high spirits and is getting ready to utilize the opportunity at its fullest.

Being a developing nation with massive population, India is facing a lot of pressure to accommodate the increasing needs of infrastructure and communications facilities required for the Commonwealth Games events. However, given the fact that the event is going to happen in the national capital New Delhi, which is already equipped with world-class infrastructure and amenities, the authorities have no much worry about them. Nonetheless, rigorous innovations are on across the national capital to make sure that every facet of the city supports the smooth running of the show and that the guests are satisfied the most.

For tourists, the Commonwealth Games in India promises a wonderful opportunity to visit this land of Maharajas and Goddess of prosperity (Lakshmi). The country is a magical bowl that holds a lot of mystifying facts and figures intriguing to tourists. The culture, geography, people and the wild forest – they are so diverse, scattered and difficult to understand; but when one goes deep into them he/she will realize that they are single and united. No other country in the world can bring about this unity in such diversity. For this reason, India is attracting millions of tourists to it every year, so will it do in the upcoming Commonwealth Games too.

Speaking at a world summit organized by the United Nations’s World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), Tourism Minister Kumari Selja said, “Commonwealth Games have given an opportunity for showcasing India as a unique and hospitable tourism destination. It is expected that a large number of tourists would visit the country next year bringing back the buoyancy in the sector.” Yes, the Commonwealth Games will add another feather in the crown of Indian hospitality. The great Taj Mahal, Qutab Minar, Red Fort and the royal courts of Rajasthan are waiting to see the grand procession of tourists who will never want to miss this sporty entertainment hosted by the sporty people of India.
