lack of infrastructure is the gravest issue posing a challenge to tourism in India. there is lack of everything from good roads to hotel rooms.

lack of good roads between tourist destinations has led to stagnation of tourism in many states.

increased terrorist activities with blasts in almost all cities of tourist interest has led to decline in the number of tourists.

the area surrounding the tourist spots are not well maintained.most of the monuments are in dilapidated condition.vendors surround the area and there is accumulation of garbage with a foul smell.

lack of tourist friendly culture also acts as a hindrance. foreign tourists are often fleeced by local vendors.

what is the question exactly? If you want points that cause hindrance, here are some

- Bad press - news of violence in India - People outside India do not understand how big it is so if something happens in one corner the whole country goes down on the favourite scale.

- Lack of clean public amenities

- Lack of proper information - no advertising or no targeted advertising in and outside the country about some of the coolest places in India.

- Lack of branding - there is no branding or a stamp of quality which will ensure that you are not going to be conned. Expecially important when people from other countries try to book things online looking at photos of hotels etc.

Poverty, people travel to see the world and feel good. They don't want to be harrassed by wretchedly poor people sleeping on the streets and asking for money.

Pollution. Most cities have so much smog that it looks like a permanent fog is set in over them. Most places of interest have garbage strewn all over the place.

main probs is the infrastructure..we don't hv gud roads, tranportation, hotels. we also don't hv the gud marketing strategy lyk malasia and Thailand

) Stress on resources and amenities

A) Water- There is water scarcity all over. The big hotels are provided with water on a regular basis. Water is pumped from wells and bore wells, and water is becoming saline. The local peoples, taps go dry, and no one cares about it.

B) Electricity-There is a big problem of electricity, and there are frequent power cuts, and people are put in a lot of hardship. The govt. has no systematic plan for electricity. All the big establishments are provided with lights, but not the poor. The poor cry "Give us today our daily lights."

C) Essential foodstuff- The Goan has his unique eating habit common to all, that is fish, curry, and rice. This is their important dish, but the demand for fish is very high in the hotels, so the common man suffers, and the prices of fish are very exorbitant, and the other commodity is much more compared to other places.

D) Transport- The transport system is not so good especially during the tourist season. From September to May the buses are filled to capacity and are overcrowded. There is no comfort, and the women are targets of teasing, pinching and so on. People getting into the buses are treated worse than animals, like herds of sheep or goats carried to the slaughter houses.

E) Land- The land prices are soaring and rising everyday. The locals are given high remuneration to sell their land to the builder. A Goan is not able to buy land and especially near the coast. The agricultural land is being used to put up big structures.

2)Ecological Imbalance and Environment Degradation

A) Sea Pollution- The sea is polluted and the scenic beauty is spoiled. The waste from big hotels is dumped into the sea, which leads to sea pollution and death of fish.

B) Destruction of tree cover- Age old and beautiful trees are chopped to beautify the cities and tourist places. The tree, which is to act as a cover for the common man, now does not find a place and becomes a source of obstruction; and it follows that it must be removed by all means.

C) Defacement of the sea front- The coastal belt of the sea should be beautiful with trees and coconut plantations, but one notices that there are big hotels that come close to the beaches, and sometimes the tourist is not able to venture into the sea because of the block created by these big hotels.

3) Socio-Cultural And Moral Effects

A) Displacement of traditional occupations- The traditional occupations of the people of Goa are farming, fishing, toddy-tapping, etc. Now, with tourism, people, and especially the young generation, do not want to get into traditional occupations. They want fast money. They take on work in the hotels and sometimes are not paid the minimum wages, and also work in inhuman conditions.

B) Distortion and commercialization of culture- As explained before about Indian culture, there is respect for all, but in Goa there is distortion of culture. The folk dances and mandoes that are sung are commercialized and performed in cheap ways especially on the cruises. There is an imitation of the alien life of the foreigners such as be hippies, nudism and free sex.

C) Destruction of values- Women are considered to have a prominent place in family and society, but tourists considers women as things - Tu cheez badi hay mast (you are a good thing ). There is a steep rise in prostitution. Many girls are becoming a prey and act as call girls satisfying customers. Children too are abused.

D) Spread of drug abuse- There is secret importation of drugs used by tourists, and slowly it has affected the youth, who are affected by the drugs, especially those staying at the coastal belt.

F) Cheap labour- The labour classes are most affected. With the minimum wages they get, they have to manage with regard to food, clothing, shelter and education. With the high prices of all essentials, it is difficult for the labor classes to survive. And especially if there is off season of tourism, they have to find alternative jobs, and some of them get involved in prostitution, robbery, murder and so on. The other problem is that migrant workers take lower wages, so they are preferred to the locals.
