How is employment generated in the tourism sector?

Answer 1

2. Tourists from our country as well as from abroad travel in India throughout the year.
3. The facilities for tourists to stay, travel, etc. are provided through the Tourism Development Corporation. Sale of curios and the hotel industry thrives in tourist places.
4. In some places, there are guides who give information to tourists about that area. Sometimes when vehicles don’t reach the destination in some remote and difficult to reach tourist places, the local people help the tourists in return for a fee.
