Recently the travelers to India have taken a turn up the budget scale. Business travelers are discovering the unique qualities that India offers and are returning for pleasure trips that come with high end budgets.

The new travel trend also includes retirees who are wealthy enough to afford comfortable accommodations and tickets on air conditioned luxury buses and trains. Some of the travelers are those of Indian origin that are returning to visit family or just the homeland.

According to recent statistics, there are more Americans visiting India than there are visiting Ireland. The increase in tourism dollars has given a boost to the economy. Increasing the percentage of world tourism is something that India would like to continue and the Tourism Ministry has started an aggressive marketing campaign to make that a reality.

The Taj Mahal (the white-marble monument built as a symbol of love for his favorite wife by Mogul Emperor Shah Jahan) is the most famous attraction in the country. But there is far more to the country than this majestic structure.

Western India is loaded with medieval forts and palaces that have been converted to hotels. The entire country is full of history and spirituality just waiting to be discovered by visitors. The Tourism Ministry is encouraging visitors of all types to come and explore India. The advertising campaign is reaching out to business travelers, medical travelers, luxury travelers and even the adventure market.

India now offers the perfect get away for your next vacation no matter what details and attractions you might be looking for in that getaway.
