State Tourism in India if organized effectively can be a huge revenue and employment generator. However, due to limited understanding, no bench marking, poor processes, lots of corruption, huge VIP culture on the ground most state tourist spots in India are not in good condition and don't find place in global tourism maps and in many cases even a harassment for tourists.

Tourists will visit places where good infrastructure is available,while also understanding that that will cost.of course he also requires value for money.Clean and comfortable hotels with good food and well maintained beaches and tourist places are a must.There is great potential for domestic tourism in India, provided the tourist does not feel shortchanged. more

Stae tourism could not keep pace with Private Resorts. When the Department started various resorts they were good & attracted wuite a large number of tourists, esprcially in Mharashtra resorts at Lonavala, Mahabaleshwar, Tarkarli, Ganpatipule etc places were really good. But they could not compete with with Private resorts because of Government Red Tape plus uninterested employees, corruption and VIP Culture. The only plus point with Govt Resorts was comparatively low cost.. But this advantage was frittered by demotivated employes (They had all the adavantages of being a Govt employee, they were untouched by the profitability of the concerned resort) more
