Domestic Tourism in India
The compilation of domestic tourism statistics is undertaken by the Statistical Cells in the Departments
of Tourism of State/UT Governments. The statistics are based on the monthly returns collected from
hotels and other accommodation establishments. The information is collected by using specific formats,
and aggregate centre-wise statistics are sent to the Market Research Division of the Ministry. Most of the
States/UTs have been furnishing information on domestic and foreign tourist visits to the State, as also
number of nights spent by them. However, there are certain data-gaps as some of the States have not
been furnishing complete information as required to tabulate data on an All-India basis. The figures of
domestic and foreign tourist visits various States/UTs for the years 2004 to 2006 have been compiled/
estimated on the basis of data available.
