Arrival of foreign tourists in India slowed in November

Foreign tourist seems to cancelling their trips or postponing their travelings to India,  in the arouse of fading economic health of western countries.  The travel blamed that the government haven’t take any step. The foreign tourist inflow into India slowed considerably last month.    

A charter flight, whose frequency is normally amongst the highest at this time of the year, has also taken a hit. Many European tourists, for instance, are opting to undertake small leisure trips within Europe instead. In fact, because of the dip in foreign tourists and slow home demand, traveller fares to leisure destinations like Goa or Jaipur are lower than last year.

According to data issued by the ministry of tourism, November, normally the second best month for foreign tourist arrivals in India, has recorded the worst monthly growth rate so far in this year. The month saw only a 4.7 per cent growth in arrivals, at 637,000, compared to 608,000 recorded in the same month last year. In comparison, November 2010 recorded growth of 12.3 per cent over the corresponding month in 2009. Further, the fall in growth in November broke the trend of rising growth recorded since August this year.
