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.

Expect few states, many states do not give importance to tourism or places of tourist interest. There must be regular transport facility and on the spot booking and stay arrangements. More importantly, souchalaya or wash rooms should be provided for the benefit or use of the tourist. more

Unfortunately, very few places like Taj, etc are well maintained by authorities with fixed entry fees. Many places with entry fees is managed well within the area; but it is filthy outside. The entry roads are in poor condition. It requires a total mindset change from the tourism departments to first create a proper approaches to the tourist areas and then seek accountability from the personnel managing it. Even the beach areas which attract domestic and overseas tourists are not maintained well (partly due to the people themselves dirtying it, Marina beach in Chennai is an example). At many places like Kashmir, there are no fixed charges specified for services at tourist locations (One has to be a good negotiator to arrive at a fair price). India can be a great tourist destination for both domestic and foreign tourists only if a dedicated overhaul action is taken by the governments. more
