I would have written a 2000 word article on the poor management of tourism development board, but I know even that may not be of any use, because no one really cares.

However, I want to let know all those who read this that we should take some action to bring more revenues in our country in the form of international tourist destination.

Rule one TAJ MAHAL, India’s biggest tourist attraction should be managed with lot more care and love than what’s been done today.

Taj Mahal is not maintained well and no one really care either.

There is a Rs 300 entry fee for foreigners, and Rs 10-30 for Indians it does not matter if you are from Africa or Malaysia, china etc as you can tell you are from Assam, which leaves with the fact that all whites are foreigners and shall take a Rs 300 ticket to see Taj Mahal. Sorry this is not racial discrimination.

The Taj Mahal is the biggest attraction of large number of foreigners but its very poorly maintained, un hygienic, un productive, dirty, and Taj Mahal is not cleaned either. (Who has the time?)

If government wants to promote tourism in these sectors all the resorts, hotels and places of lodging in tourism areas like hill station and other tourist attractions should have a 50% cut in tax. Here we have a 15% additional luxury tax in addition to the normal tax that we pay.

The taxi fares should be regularized so that no one is on losses, both the taxi driver as well as tourists.

The local police need to be more active and should have police patrolling day and night and catch hold of all the suspicious activities.

Lets save India and bring more revenues to our country.

Dear Tourism Minister and people at incredible India are you listening.
