All types of tourism are available which has made  India a highly popular tourist destination.

 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:

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.

The peak tourist season is mainly during the winter season at time of Christmas and New Year when Goa overflows with merry makers and tourists who throng beaches to enjoy the sun and sand. There are Tourists even  during  the summer months of  May.

This smallest state of India  was once a Portuguese colony  for 450 years , before it was liberated by the Indian Army in 1955. Goa still retains much of its Portuguese cultural legacy which is evident  particularly in its music, colorful carnivals, church, and of course a friendly attitude of the people of Goa.

Goa has two World Heritage Sites: the Bom Jesus Basilica and a few designated convents. The Basilica holds the mortal remains of St. Francis Xavier, regarded by many Catholics as the patron saint of Goa.

The beauty of Goa is pristine and breathtaking with miles and miles of beautiful and serene sandy beaches facing the deep blue Arabian Sea that would  take your  breath away.
