4. Sourav Kumar Das, Kishor Naskar. Nexus between Infrastructure and Tourism Development

The critical importance of the availability of quality infrastructure has been realized by all countries, including India. Within the available resources’ efforts are made to provide for such infrastructure for sustaining the increase in economic growth. This requires meticulous planning and policy formulations, which, in turn, require qualitative infrastructure statistics. A clear, comprehensive and unambiguous notion of what constitute infrastructure is yet to be developed at the national and international levels. The paper also finds that India is an expanding destination to the foreign tourist. The findings in this study lend support to the current policy of the government whereby significant marketing effort is being made at the international level to further promote the Indian tourism product. The authorities should also be given due credit for constantly upgrading the infrastructure base around the India.
