This is almost three times the tourist expenditure in France, one of the major tourist destinations of the world.  And it is almost the double of global average earnings of Rs.37570 per foreign tourist.  This can be attributed to the longer average stay in India travel tourists prefer to try and explore the country----says the study Investment opportunities in hotel infrastructure in India.

But in terms of availability and affordability of hotel rooms as well as number of foreign tourists visiting the country, lags behind its south Indian competitors. Adventure sports such as river rafting, mountaineering, mountain biking, skiing, trekking in India and all other excursion sports showing tremendous growth rate. Trekking in India  is one of the biggest attractions for foreign tourists.
