Tourism is among the fastest growing industries across the world and currently accounts for over 6.5% of the world employment base. Tourism is highly labour intensive industry as compared to any other industry. Allahabad has huge potential for tourism activity – religion-based and institution-based tourism in particular. The Kumbh mela is the greatest of north Indian festival-fairs and it has exerted a mesmerising influence over the minds and the imagination of the ordinary Indian from times immemorial. Table 18: Employment Generation Year No of Jobs 2003-04 13,911 2002-03 12,671 2001-02 11,621 2000-01 14,001 Source: Department of Tourism, Allahabad The Economic and Social Commission for Asia and Pacific (ESCAP) study report on ‘Economic Impact of Tourism in India’ reveals that 1.2 international tourist visits provide employment to one person while 17 domestic tourists generate employment for one person. Further, there is an employment multiplier as 1.358 (Refer report by Dr G Raveendran on Tourism, Planning and Measurement Methods, 1993) that helps creates indirect employment. 39

Sangam No Person Emp King Ashok’s Pillar 2000-01 2001-02 2002-03 2003-04 Year Employment Generation Table 19: Pertinent Issues Tourist Site Issues The spot is highly undeveloped and lacks basic facilities. Tourists are left on the mercy of boatmen and pujaries who greatly harass the tourists. This spot has huge potential and needs an Integrated Sangam Area Development Master Plan (ISADM) to reduce the continuous outflow of the cash from state exchequer in the name of Kumbha Expenses. This is an invaluable piece and can be huge tourist attraction with fort and Sangam Not open for general public as the fort is under the army control. 40
