PREFACE

This is the second in a series of reports that NCAER, the National Council of

Applied Economic Research, has been doing on detailed tourism satellite accounts

for the states and union territories of India. With the tremendous growth of the

Indian service sector, tourism as a location-specific economic activity is important at

the sub-national level. This is true for both tourism’s contribution to national income

and to employment. With 29 states, many larger in population than most countries

in the world, it is important to measure tourism activity within states through the

compilation of State Tourism Satellite Accounts (TSAs). State TSAs go well beyond a

national TSA in providing the direct and indirect contribution of tourism to state

GDP and employment using state-specific demand and supply data.

TSAs at the sub-national level are becoming increasingly important. The United

Nations World Tourism Organisation has emphasised the many reasons for

encouraging countries to develop sub-national or regional TSAs. One reason is the

worldwide trend towards decentralisation of political power and management of

national resources in states, regions and municipalities. In order to allocate and

monitor these resources effectively, more and better-integrated regional and local

information is required. Tourism activity inevitably has an unequal geographical

distribution and characteristics within a national territory, and understanding this

requires tourism statistics at different territorial levels. Improving the allocation of

resources and regulating markets in sensible ways for a sector with such diversity can

only be achieved by upgrading data and measuring economic impact at the sub-

regional level.

NCAER was commissioned by the Ministry of Tourism in the Government of

India in 2013 to compile Regional Tourism Satellite Accounts for all the states and

UTs of India for the base year 2009–10 in order to have a more complete

understanding of the tourism sector. NCAER has earlier compiled both the first and

second national TSAs for India. NCAER’s first report covered Andhra Pradesh, Bihar,

Gujarat, Jammu & Kashmir, Punjab, Rajasthan, Sikkim, Tripura, Tamil Nadu, and

West Bengal. This report covers Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Goa, Himachal Pradesh,

Jharkhand, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Odisha, Puducherry, and Uttar Pradesh

In the absence of standard international guidelines to prepare sub-national

TSAs, NCAER has compiled the state TSAs along the same lines as the national TSA,

overcoming several data limitations in the process. These limitations have been

overcome by using the most logical rates and ratios based on reasonable

assumptions.

State-wise comparison of characteristics of domestic trips in India

A study based on Domestic Tourism Survey, 2008-09

1. Introduction

India is a diverse country, with over 1.2 billion people following various cultures,

traditions, languages, festivals, religions etc. Equally diverse are the categories of tourism

activities that India offers to her people as well as to the people across the world. These

categories range from scenic tourism, mountain tourism, adventure tourism, beach tourism

to rural tourism, medical and wellness tourism, history tourism and religious tourism. Such

varied categories of tourism owe largely to the geographic, climatic and traditional

multiplicity seen in India’s twenty-nine states and seven union territories.

In most of these states, both inbound and domestic tourism have been the key drivers

of growth among their respective service industries. According to the latest data compiled by

the Ministry of Tourism, number of international tourist arrivals all over India stood at 7.70

million in 2014, posting an annual growth of 10.6 per cent. This is significantly higher than

the medium growth rate of 4.7 per cent witnessed in international tourist arrivals, globally

(UNWTO Barometer, January 2015). Domestic tourism, which accounts for a bulk of tourism

in India, grew by 9.6 per cent with total domestic tourists visiting all states and UTs of India

numbered at 114.5 crore in 2013.

For the whole of India, expenditure incurred on domestic tourism is about 80 per cent of

the total tourism consumption expenditure which comprises domestic, inbound and pre-trip

outbound expenditure (refer to NCAER report on “Second Tourism Satellite Account for

India, 2009-10). Realising the importance of domestic tourism and in an effort to promote it,

the Ministry of Tourism has remoulded its Market Development Assistance (MDA) scheme

to make it more inward looking. This scheme lays emphasis on:

Motivating tour operators to include packages to lesser known and unexploited

destinations in their marketing programmes.

Encouraging domestic tourists to visit such destinations

Familiarising tour operators and travel agents about new tourism products and new

developments in the field of tourism.

The State governments and State Tourism Departments of various states are also taking

several measures to promote the domestic tourism in their states. These include promotional

campaigns, television commercials, infrastructure development of mega-destinations and

circuits, developing and promoting niche products of tourism industry etc.



In such backdrop, it is worthwhile to assess the important parameters related to

domestic tourism activities in the states of India. The basic domestic tourism statistics are

compiled by the State Tourism Departments and are based on monthly returns provided by

hotels and other accommodation establishments. However, a more comprehensive picture of

various aspects of domestic tourism is captured by the one-of-its-kind pan-India household

survey which was conducted by the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) during

2008-09. This report analyses these data to draw a comparison among the states and UTs of

India with respect to the available indicators on domestic tourism.

2. Context of the study

Domestic tourism has picked up in recent times. In 2013, number of domestic tourist

in India is 1145 mn, registering a growth rate of 9.6 per cent. During the latest decade 2003-

13, domestic tourism registered an average annual growth rate of 27.1 per cent. During 1993-

03 the average annual growth rate in domestic tourism was 19.2 per cent. The average

annual growth rate during 1993-03 and 2003-13 is higher for domestic tourism than foreign

tourist to India. The growth rate for domestic tourist in India is double the foreign tourist

visits to India during the last two decades 1993-13. In 2013, top 10 states in domestic tourist

visits were Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Madhya

Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, West Bengal and Chhattisgarh. Tamil Nadu ranking first in

domestic tourist visits in 2013, has 21.3 per cent share in India’s total domestic tourist.

Chhattisgarh ranked 10th in domestic tourist visits, having 2 per cent share in India’s total

domestic tourist.

In India, tourism sector has very strong linkage in socio-economic prosperity. The

employment potential of tourism sector in India is higher than any other sector. UNWTO

studies show that tourism volumes and related receipts like gross domestic product,

employment, and export earnings are expected to move away from the developed countries

and towards the less developed countries as a result of favourable economic, motivational,

technological and policy factor.

Despite this, there has hardly been any research on India’s domestic tourism due to

data inadequacy and due to the absence of any systematic framework for analysing the

sector. Although statistics related to international visitors have been collected occasionally,

data on domestic tourists have been generated only sporadically, specific to an area and

generally by non-government bodies.

In order to get the in-depth insights of the various aspects of domestic tourism by

states and UTs of India, the NSSO conducted an all India household survey on domestic

tourism as part of its 65th round, during 2008-09.

The present study, commissioned by the Ministry of Tourism to NCAER, analyses

these data to prepare a report on “State-wise comparison of average number of trips, their

duration and spending pattern”. This report is a part of the second phase of the “3-year

integrated plan for preparation of regional TSAs for all states and UTs of India and two

research topics for each year” that was commissioned to NCAER by MoT in October 2013.

3. Objectives of the Study

As desired, the study aims to present the state-wise statistics related to the overnight

trips undertaken by the domestic tourists. These statistics would include:

Estimated number of trips by states of origin and by states of destination

Estimated number of trips per household

Percentage distribution of trips by purpose of travel from states of origin and to states

of destination

Duration of trips or average number of nights spent in the states of destination

State-wise comparison of estimated expenditure incurred on domestic trips on

various items of expenditure

4. About Data Source

Domestic Tourism in India” is an all-India household survey on domestic tourism

(DTS 2008-09), carried out during the period July 2008 to June 2009 by National Sample

Survey Organisation (NSSO) as part of its 65th Round of sample surveys. This was the first

time that such comprehensive survey on domestic tourism was undertaken by NSSO.



A stratified multi-stage sampling design was adopted for the DTS 2008-09. The first

stage units (FSU) were the 2001 census villages in rural sector and urban frame survey

blocks in the urban sector. For larges FSUs, an intermediate stage of sampling was the

division of the FSU into a number of parts and random selection of one part for survey. The

ultimate stage sampling units were the households. In all, 153038 households were surveyed

from 8109 sample villages and 4719 urban blocks spread over all states and union territories

of India. Of the total households, 97074 (63 per cent) belonged to the rural areas and 56234

to urban areas.

A detailed schedule of enquiry was used to collect data from the sample households

on various parameters like household characteristics comprising household size, principal

industry, principal occupation, household type, religion, social group, household

consumption expenditure, number of overnight trips and same-day trips undertaken by the

household, visits of NRIs to the households and their impact, renting out of some portion of

the house to tourists during the last 365 days, and awareness, source of information, and

impact of the “Incredible India” campaign by the Government of India or other tourism

promotional campaigns. Data were also collected for each household member on age,

gender, marital status, educational level, usual principal activity status, industry and

occupation of employed members, number of overnight as well as same-day trips completed

during last 30 days and last 365 days.

For each trip, various trip characteristic data were also collected. These included

leading purpose of the trip, main destination, number of places visited, mode of travel, type

of stay, number of nights spent outside usual place of residence and so on. Finally, for the

latest three overnight trips completed during the last 30 days, detailed data were collected on

particulars of expenditure on different items under the heads of accommodation, food and

drink, transport, shopping, recreation, religious, cultural, sporting and health-related

activities, and other expenditures along with information of reimbursement/direct payment

by any institution for such trips.

5. Important concepts/definitions used in DTS

5.1 Trip

A trip refers to the movement by one or more household members travelling to a place

outside their usual environment for purposes other than those of migration or getting

employed or setting up of residence in that place and which is outside their regular routine of

life, for a duration of not more than six months.



5.2 Domestic Visitor

A domestic visitor is a household member, who has completed a ‘trip’. In other

words, a domestic visitor is a person (household member), residing in the country, who

travels to a place within the country, outside his or her usual environment and not as a part

of his or her regular routine of life, for duration of not more than six months at a time.

Further, domestic visitors are classified into two categories: domestic overnight

visitors and domestic same-day visitors. A domestic overnight visitor is a domestic visitor

who spent at least one night in a trip during last 365 days. This means that the trip covered

at least two calendar days, wholly or partly. A domestic same-day visitor is a domestic visitor

who did not spend even a single night in any trip during last 365 days. This means that the

trip started and ended on the same day.

Since it is difficult to distinguish domestic tourists from other travellers who are

travelling within the boundary of the country of reference, it is important to identify them by

carefully looking into their purpose and duration of travel. This requires a little more

scrutiny and it must be noted that:

All movements of persons commuting regularly and frequently (nearly every

day/every week/every fortnight) between their usual environment and some fixed

places for the purpose of work or study, visiting homes of friends or relatives,

shopping centres, religious places, centres of health care or any other facilities that

might be at a substantial distance away but nevertheless were regularly and

frequently visited were not considered as trips.

Similarly, all movements of persons, whose nature of activities within their regular

routine of life involved making movements outside their usual environment to

different places, like travelling salesmen, mobile hawkers, medical representatives,

on-board staff of airlines/railways or of buses, hired taxis, etc. were not considered as

trips.

Exceptions for exclusion from the coverage of trip as mentioned above were all

domestic movements performed by air except for the purpose of migration or getting

employed or setting up of residence in that place were considered as trips even if such

movements fall within the regular routine of life of the visitor. However, domestic

movements performed by on-board aircraft crew as part of their duty were not

considered as trips.

5.3 Leading purpose of trip

This is defined as the purpose in the absence of which the trip would not have taken place.

Leading purpose for all the members who are performing a trip is that purpose without



which none of the members in that trip would have undertaken the trip. Clearly, the leading

purpose of a trip will be the same for all the members who undertook that trip. In DTS –

2008-09, these purposes have been identified as below:

Business - This category includes trips of employees of Government, public or private

organisations or of self-employed people, trips for installation of equipment,

inspection, purchase and sale for enterprise; for attending conferences, congresses,

trade fairs and exhibitions; for delivering lectures or concerts; for participation in

professional sport activities, etc.

Holidaying, leisure and recreation - This category includes sightseeing, attending

sporting and cultural events, non-professional active sports, adventure sports,

recreational activities, cultural activities, holidays at beaches and hill stations,

summer camps, dining out, visiting spas and other establishments specialized in well-

being, fitness except in the context of a medical treatment (in which case the purpose

would be health & medical), etc.

Social (including visiting friends and relatives, attending marriages, etc.) - This

category includes visiting friends and relatives, attending marriages/ any other family

events/ other social functions, visiting home towns, visits to arrange short-term

caring for the baby, sick or old; etc.

Pilgrimage & religious activities - This category includes attending various religious

meetings and events, and undertaking pilgrimages to different places of worship or

holy places.

Education & training - This category includes trips to join short-term courses (less

than six months) following particular programs of study, education and research

programming, acquiring specific skills through formal on-the-job training including

paid study, etc. For example, the trip of a professional academician for acquiring a

certain academic qualification would come under this category. However, if his trip

primarily involves delivering academic lectures then the purpose of his trip was

reported not as education and training but as business.

Health & medical - This category includes trips to spa, fitness and health resorts,

treatments and cures, Ayurveda and other health resorts of traditional medicines,

etc., for getting short-term (less than six months) medical treatment.

Shopping - This category includes purchasing of consumer goods for own personal

use or as gifts but not for resale or for use in a future productive process (in which

case the purpose would be business). For example, in many places in our country

people visit some nearby city/town or market place primarily for the purpose of

purchasing consumer goods during festivals like Puja, Diwali, Eid, Christmas, etc. or



during social functions like marriages, birthdays, etc., in their households. But if a

shopkeeper undertakes a trip to a city/town to make wholesale purchase for retail

selling then the purpose of his trip was taken as business and not shopping.

Others - This category includes purposes which are not indicated elsewhere. For

example, making a trip to render some social service, such as attending a blood

donation camp to donate blood, comes under this category.

5.4 Domestic Tourism

Domestic tourism covers all the trips of household members within the territory of India, i.e.

of domestic visitors, either as a domestic trip or as part of an international trip.

5.5 Tourism Expenditure

This refers to the total expenditure incurred on a trip undertaken by a domestic visitor. This

includes expenditure made not just during the trip but also the expenditure related to the

trip even if made before or after the trip. It also includes expenditure related to the trip,

whether directly paid or reimbursed, by some institution like Government or other agencies

on behalf of the selected household.

6. Key Results

The following sections present the key findings of the Domestic Tourism Survey pertaining

to the characteristics of domestic trips. For each characteristic, a comparison is drawn for all

the states and UTs of India.

6.1 Incidence of trips by state of origin

An important characteristic of domestic tourism is the number of trips undertaken by a

household in a year which is an effective pointer towards the intensity of domestic tourism in

a state. The following charts give the intensity of tourism by states of origin, hence giving an

indication of how frequently do the people of a state travel, both within their state and to

other states of India. This intensity of tourism is also computed for the rural and urban

sectors of the states. Also presented is an exhibit with the distribution of trips undertaken in

the states of origin by their leading purposes. This chart indicates the relative preferences of

households of a state. The total number of visitor-trips and number of visits/trips for each

state of origin and state of destination are given in Appendix Table A1



Figure 2: Trips per 100 households by state of origin – Rural

Source: NCAER computation using 65th round NSSSO data

On an average, 4.4 trips were

undertaken by an Indian

household in rural areas.

Of the total 35 states and UTs,

the intensity of domestic

tourism of only 12 states is

higher than the national

average while the remaining 23

states/UTs showed lower

intensity of domestic tourism.

Barring Puducherry which is a

UT, all of these 12 states are

India’s major states

The highest incidence of trips

is seen in Jammu & Kashmir,

with 904 trips per 100

households in the reference

year of 2008-09. This is

followed by HP, with791 trips

per 100 households..

Among the 10 states/UTs

which rank the lowest with

respect to the intensity of

domestic tourism, 5 are UTs, 4

are North-eastern states and

the tenth state is Goa, which is

a popular state of destination

rather than a state from which

domestic trips originate.

The average number of trips

made by urban households in a

year is less than that made by

rural households. As compared

to 4.4 trips per household in

rural areas, number of trips

made by an average urban

household is 3.7 in a year.

In only 10 states, the incidence

of trips per household for

urban areas is higher than that

in rural areas. Of these, 5 are

UTs – Chandigarh, Delhi,

Daman & Diu, Dadra & Nagar

Haveli and Lakshadweep. The

other five are Tripura, Assam,

Jharkhand, Goa and Kerala.

Jammu & Kashmir reports the

highest incidence of trips in

urban areas too.

Average number of trips during

a year per both rural and urban

households in J&K and

Himachal Pradesh is almost

double the respective all-India

average.

These states also record the

highest variation in the

incidence of trips in their rural

and urban areas.

Figure 4: Trips per 100 households by state of origin – Total


An average Indian household

undertakes four trips during a

year.

In five states, the incidence of

trips during a year is more than

5 trips per household. These

five states are J&K, Himachal

Pradesh, Haryana, Odisha and

Rajasthan.

12 states including one UT

(Puducherry) exhibit higher

intensity of domestic tourism

than all India average intensity

while the intensity in 23 states

is lower than the national

average.

The highest incidence of trips

is seen in Jammu & Kashmir,

with 836 trips per 100

households. This is followed by

HP, with 769 trips per 100

households.

All the bottom 10 states/ UTs

in terms of intensity of

domestic tourism are small

states or UTs except for Assam

where the average number of

trips per 100 households is

estimated at just 232 for the

year 2008-09.

Figure 5: Distribution of trips undertaken in the states of origin by their

leading purposes


A On an average, at all India

level, contribution of social

trips to total trips works out

to be 74 per cent. This is

followed by religious trips

and medical trips which

account for 10 per cent and

6.2 per cent respectively of

the total overnight trips.

Business and leisure trips

together account for only 5.3

per cent of the total trips.

Barring Lakshadweep, in all

the states, people travel the

most for social reasons. In

Lakshadweep, however,

maximum number of trips

(42.5 %) is undertaken for

medical purposes.

Leisure or holiday is among

the least popular purposes of

domestic overnight trips

across all the states. The

6.2 Trips by state of destination

For each trip, the state of destination is either the state itself (intra-state movement) or other state (inter-state movement). In the survey, the main destination for

each state has been identified and classified as follows:

1. Within the same district to which the household belongs

2. Outside the district but within the same state to which the household belongs

3. Outside the state of residence

Of all the domestic trips undertaken in India, about 90 per cent are undertaken

within the same state. Hence, intra-state movement is the main contributor to domestic

tourism in India. In rural areas, this proportion is even higher at 94 per cent while in urban

areas, about 79 per cent of total overnight trips are undertaken within the state.

For a state-wise comparison, it is important to see the relative importance or

popularity of destination states with respect to the leading purposes of travel to these states.

As a matter of fact, certain states are more popular destinations for, say leisure tourists while

others have more offerings for religious tourists. The following exhibit presents the

distribution of trips that are undertaken in a state of destination by their leading purposes.

Also presented are the exhibits in which top 15 states are listed for each main purpose of

travel, i.e. business, leisure, social and religious. Here, distribution of trips is done for each

purpose by states of destination.



Figure 6: Distribution of trips undertaken in the states of destination by their

leading purposes


It is evident in this exhibit

too that most of the people

travel for social purposes.

In all the destination

states, except Daman &

Diu, the proportion of

social trips in total trips is

the highest. Daman & Diu

is popular more for leisure

trips as 41% of total trips

undertaken here are for

leisure.

Besides Daman & Diu, the

states to which domestic

tourists visit for leisure in

a significant proportion

are Lakshadweep, Sikkim,

Andaman & Nicobar

Islands and Goa.

The states where

significant proportion of

trips is religious trips are

Uttarakhand, Himachal

Pradesh, Jammu &

Kashmir, Karnataka and

Tamil Nadu.

Figure 7: Top 10 states of destination for main types of trips (Trips originating

from both within and outside state)


Of all the business trips

undertaken in India, 11.6

per cent and 11.5 per

cent are undertaken in

Andhra Pradesh and

Uttar Pradesh

respectively. These

proportions take into

account both the trips

that originate from the

states themselves and

from other states.

West Bengal, as a state

of destination, accounts

for the largest

proportion of leisure

trips undertaken in

India. This is mostly

because of the intra-

state leisure tourists in

the state. This is

followed by Tamil Nadu,

Andhra Pradesh and

Maharashtra.

Social trips are

undertaken the most in

Uttar Pradesh.

Maharashtra, Andhra

Pradesh and Tamil Nadu

together account for 44

per cent of total religious

trips undertaken in the

country.

6.3 Trip Duration

The survey collects information on number of nights spent during the trip at the state of destination. Since the survey was conducted round the year, this

information is available by the starting and ending months of the overnight trip.

Hence, we can obtain the average duration of an overnight trip for different ending

months. This information throws light on the variability of tourism activity across

months of year and also tells us as to which months are most preferred for a trip.

On an average and at All-India level, the duration of trip is 3.4 nights. For

rural households, the average duration is 3.1 nights and for urban households, it is

4.2 nights. The variability of trip duration across months is seen more in urban

households, where it ranges from 3.5 nights in February and August to 5.6 nights in

July. In the rural sector, average trip duration lies within the narrow range of 2.7 to

3.3 nights throughout the year.

The figures below present the state-wise comparison of the average trip

duration for the states of destination. Further, it is also interesting to note the trip

duration in the states of destination during various ending months. This indicates as

to which states are most visited during each month of a year.



Figure 9: Average trip duration (number of nights spent) in the states of

destination


The longest trip duration

is seen in Lakshadweep,

where domestic tourists

prefer to spend about 5.4

nights, on an average.

This is followed by

Chandigarh with 5.2

nights.

Number of states/UTs

with average trip

duration more than that

of All-India average is 16.

This includes major

states like Gujarat,

Maharashtra, Andhra

Pradesh and Karnataka;

North-eastern states like

Sikkim and Arunachal

Pradesh; and UTs like

Delhi and Andaman &

Nicobar Islands.

Least number of nights

are spent in Manipur and

Figure 10: Average duration per overnight trip for peak season (maximum

number of nights spent) in the states of destination


Peak season for tourism

in a state is the month in

which average number of

nights spent in that state

is the highest.

In as many as 8 states of

destination, the month in

which domestic tourists

spent the maximum

number of nights is June,

which is also the month

when in most of the

states, schools are shut

due to summer vacation

so people can travel with

their children.

On an average, overnight

tourists spend as many as

17 nights per trip

undertaken in Andaman

& Nicobar Island during

the peak season, that is,

in June. This is closely

followed by Arunachal

Pradesh with 16 nights

spent in June.

In Nagaland, even during

the peak season, the

average number of nights

spent per overnight trip is

just 3.2 nights.

Figure 11: Average duration per overnight trip for lean season (minimum

number of nights spent) in the states of destination


Note: Lean season for each state of destination is the month given in

parentheses after state name

Lean season for tourism

in a state is considered

the month in which

average number of nights

spent in that state is the

lowest.

March is the lean season

in case of 9 states and

February is the lean

season in case of 6 states

which can be attributed

to the fact that February

and March are the

months of examinations

for school going children.

3.3 nights per overnight

trip are spent in Delhi

during the lean season

followed by 3.13 nights

spent in Kerala.

There is a wide difference

in nights spent in any

state during peak and

lean season pointing

towards the high

variability across months

which could be for

various reasons ranging

from purpose of trip,

weather conditions,

popular preferences of

the tourists etc.

6.4. Domestic Expenditure

Domestic expenditure incurred during trips is an important measure of how well

tourism sector contributes to the economy of different states. This section of the report

presents the state-wise comparison of the details of expenditure incurred during the

domestic trips undertaken in the states of destination.

The expenditure by tourists pertaining to a trip, be it domestic or international, is

likely to be very much dependent on many factors such as purpose of the visit, socio-

economic characteristics of the visitors, types of tourism services availed during the trips

(e.g. type of accommodation – five star, three star etc.) and length of the stay, to name a few.

Total expenditure incurred by all the visitors is also dependent, apart from the above factors,

on the number of total trips made to a particular state. Keeping focus on these issues, firstly

the overall expenditure incurred on trips by purpose is estimated for each state. Secondly,

per cent distributions of expenditures by broad types of tourism goods and services are

estimated for each state separately by type of purpose of the trips.

The broad industries by which the distribution of expenditure is discussed in this

section are as follows:

(i) Accommodation Services

(ii) Cultural, sports, religious & other recreational services

(iii) Food & beverages services

(iv) Tourism connected products

(v) Travel agencies & other reservation services

(vi) Passenger transport services

Tourism connected products mentioned above in (iv) include items like readymade

garments, processed food, tobacco products, travel related consumer goods, footwear, soaps,

cosmetics and glycerine, gems and jewellery, and books, journals, magazines, stationery etc.

The data suggests that the total estimated domestic tourism expenditure in India was

Rs. 97,508 crore for year 2008-09, of which 42.5 per cent was incurred on social trips, 23.8

per cent on health and medical trips, 12.2 on religious trips, 8.2 per cent on leisure trips, 5.1

per cent on business trips and the remaining 8.2 per cent on other trips.

As compared to this, in terms of number of trips by purposes of travel, social trips

account for as much as 74.1 per cent of the total overnight trips, religious trips account for

9.7 per cent, health and medical trips constitute 6.3 per cent, leisure trips are 2.7 per cent

and business trips are 2.6 per cent of the total trips.

The following figures present the state-wise comparison of the expenditure incurred

during various types of trips on the broad items of tourism expenditure.



Figure 12: Per cent distribution of Domestic Expenditure incurred (by states of destination) on BUSINESS TRIPS by tourism goods and services

Source: NCAER computation

Total domestic tourism

expenditure on business

trips in India was Rs.

4929 crore in 2008-09.

Passenger transport

services and tourism

connected products are

the major items of

expenditure in the case of

trips undertaken for

business purposes. This is

true for almost all the

states.

Tourism connected

products include

readymade garments,

processed food, tobacco

products, beverages,

tourism related consumer

goods, footwear,

toiletries, gems &

jewellery and books &

periodicals.

The least is spent on
