India to Target Faith Tourism to Boost Foreign Tourist Arrivals

Authorities in India are looking to put out all the stops in a bid to encourage global tourists to get hold of flights tickets and holiday deals for the country. The latest offering from this incredibly multi-cultural nation is the development of the faith tourism. This is to be done by setting up and establishing of more religious tourist circuits to lure spiritual minded to bag tickets deals on India flights. Apart from making foreigners dig deep for cheap options on flights tickets that would take them to India in an affordable manner, this latest move is also likely to give a push to the nation’s blossoming domestic ravel market.

India is already a popular tourist destination among ASEAN countries given its massive lures for Buddhist travellers. India is looking to set up more Buddhist centres and is also hoping to tempt Jewish travellers into making tickets reservations on flights by setting a Jewish centre in Kochi, a city in the southern part of the expanse.

Moreover, the authorities are looking to develop British-era war cemeteries, which is sure to lure more Britons into making tickets reservations on flights arriving in India. Sufi centres could be other circuits that could enchant followers and encourage them to seek cheap deals for flights tickets.

There has been a noticeable increase in the number of foreign tourist arrivals in India and the government hopes to keep the momentum going and keep on tempting tourists to grab flights tickets and holiday packages for India by developing more tourist-centric sites.
