2. 외래 관광객 현황
* 2010년 통계 자료에 의하면 인도에 도착한 관광객 수는 5백 78만 명이다. 2001/2002년, 2009년을 제외하고 매년 관광객의 수가 늘고 있으며 2014년 기준 7백 68만 명까지 늘었다.

Between the years 2000 and 2014, foreign tourist arrivals in India increased dramatically from 2.65 million to 7.68 million. Figures increased year-on-year apart from in 2001/2002 and 2009 when they dipped slightly. These decreases may have been due to the recessions that occurred during those years. It is likely that the number of arrivals in India will increase further into the future with the World Travel and Tourism Council naming the country the eleventh fastest-emerging tourism destination in the world. According to the organization, travel and tourism’s total contribution to India’s GDP will increase by 6.4 percent annually from 2014 to 2024.

The largest source market for foreign tourist arrivals in India in 2013 was the United States, providing more than one million visitors. The U.S. was followed by the United Kingdom and Bangladesh. In 2013, international visitors spent 18.4 billion U.S. dollars in the country. That year, the travel and tourism industry made a total contribution of 113.2 billion U.S. dollars, or 5.35 percent, to India’s GDP.

Outbound tourism from India is growing, too. During a 13-year period, the number of outbound Indian nationals increased by over 12 million, from 4.42 million in 2000 to 16.63 million in 2014. Approximately 860 thousand people from India visited the United States in 2013 and this figure was forecasted to rise above 1.3 million by 2018. In 2014, 1.77 million Indian tourists visited Europe, their favorite region being Western Europe, including countries such as France and Germany.
