All types of tourism are available which has made India a highly
popular tourist destination. The reason why India has been doing so well in all types of tourism
is that India is a multilingual, multicultural and multi religious
society with
tremendous geographical diversity, hospitality, uniqueness and charm.
This has what made the Indian civilization so rich and colorful which
has contributed a lot to the development of the human civilization
both spiritually and materialistically particularly within
the subcontinent in South Asia.
This has resulted in offering to the people from all over the
world an exceedingly vibrant society of a billion plus population. Its
in a way a celebration of humanity.
Each region of India, whether it be the remote islands of faraway
Andaman & Nicobar islands or the mighty snow clad peaks of the Himalayas
including the valleys of Jammu and Kashmir as well as in the North East
or for that matter the people belonging to the desert state of
Rajasthan each of whom has something to offer which is
unique. Tourists have a wide choice to learn of the people and the
geographical terrain that very few countries in the globe can match.
The different types of tourism in India are as follows:
Religious or Pilgrimage Tourism
India is famous for its temples and that is the reason that among the
different kinds of tourism in India, pilgrimage tourism is increasing
most rapidly.

Kayavarohan, Bhadrakali, Haridwar, Badrinath, Kedarnath, Varanasi,
Gangotri and Yamunotri, Rishikesh, Shamlaji, Bodh Gaya, Ajmer, are
important pilgrimage destinations which have kept alive the religious
sentiments of the people where lakhs of pilgrims from all over the world
make their religious tourism every year.

importance which can be broadly classified as Stone Age, Indus Valley,
Neolithic-Chalcolithic, Megalithic-Early Historic and Late Historic
periods.

Medical Tourism in
India
India is one of the front
runners as a destination for medical tourism.
Basically this particular kind
of tourism is quite different from the conventional ones. In this kind
of tourism the travelers visit India for cost effective medical
treatment at par with the best hospitals of the world under highly
qualified medical practitioners.
This is a cost effective tourism since the patients receives the best
medical treatment at half the cost if not less than what they would have
received from local hospitals in advanced countries such as in the USA
and Europe.
Such kind of
medical treatment is offered only
by private medical practitioners in private corporate hospitals in India
in collaboration with the tourism industry of Government of India.
These hospitals are well
equipped with the latest medical equipments and technology to treat all
kinds of complicated medical conditions. The doctors are highly
qualified most of them having both Indian as well as Foreign degrees
from reputed medical schools in India, USA and UK. and best of all they
are all well conversant in English, so communication wouldn't be a
problem for foreign tourists availing treatment in India.
According to the latest reports
India is growing rapidly having registered 30% annual growth in medical
tourism.
So its not unusual for a
tourists arriving in India getting tummy tucks as well as visiting the
Taj Mahal at a total price (including airfares from US or Europe to
India) thats far less than the medical expenses that they would have
incurred in their own country. Some of these hospitals are even better
than those in their countries.
Now a foreign tourist can
whiten up and scale their tooth at $75 in India what it would have
taken $300 to do the same. So a smile designed to perfection at US $8000
could be done at just one eighth the cost in India. Forget, cosmetic
surgery, a dialysis in the US will shortchange you for $ 300 as against
$50 for the same procedure in Chennai.
Most Indian states have either
established themselves as destinations for health care and tourism or
are building medical brand images.
Add to this, Yogic healing,
Transcendental Meditation (TM) along with alternate therapies of
ayurveda in India has been repackaged and redefined and goes hand in
hand with India's rise in 'Health Tourism "also called Medical Tourism.
Further, impetus has come from
corporate such as the Tatas, Fortis, Max, Wockhardt, Piramal, and the
Escorts group who are investing in setting up of modern hospitals in
major cities. Many have in fact built health packages designed for
patients, including airport pickups, visa assistance, boarding and
lodging.
With advanced medical and
biotechnological progress, India has entered the league consisting of
other Asian countries such as Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand that now
offers medical tourism in a big way. |
