Question
Compare the tourism in India and Brazil.
Solution
Brazil has many white sandy beaches and the country is surrounded by nature. It has many beautiful natural areas to offer tourists, making it a natural tourist destination. The newly developed capital city of Brasilia also attracts a large number of tourists, as do the coastal cities of Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, and tourism is a very important industry in the country, employing a large number of people. Ecotourism is growing in Brazil as a result of recent environmental damage.
The number of international tourists visiting India in 2015 is more than that of Brazil. Even though this is true, the share of tourism sector in the GDP is less than that of Brazil. Apart from this, the proportion of Indian population engaged in tourism proportion is higher than Brazil. This is primarily dependent on the size of the population of those countries and the size of the GDP. According to this, population of India is more than Brazil and so is its GDP. As the GDP of India is higher than Brazil and so also its population, therefore, the contribution of tourism to GDP appears lesser than Brazil and population engagement seems higher.
