Some representative volunteer offices (without Cost to Govt) in various important cities of Europe and North America, Canada Etc. to be co-ordinated by local consulates should be started who can give first hand virtual orientation to citizens. Also infrastructure at airports and safety of women are of prime importance. I volunteer for SAn francisco

First of all before pressurizing the NRIs it is better to control the NGOs that operate in India by showing the Indian poor and the worst place of the country to extract money and funds from abroad. This will give a bad impression and decrease tourism. It will also disgrace the country too. IF THIS IS DONE it will control and improve the tourism a lot. It will also help the NRIs who may work as promoters of country's interests to improve the tourist arrival to India.

To increase tourism, you have to 1). Get rid of OCI PIO etc. 2). Make visas cheaper. 3). Make visa applications easier. 4). Train Indian Embassy staff in how to deliver the service politely. 5). Train Indian Embassy staff to process the applications in one go. Do not make the applicant come back another day. 6). Make Visa application offices bigger and provide more windows to avoid crowding. 7). Your hotels in cities and villages are out of touch with what the NRI's expect from you.

NRI Can play a major role in bringing foreign currency to India.Tourism is state concerned.With out having a common agenda,tourism development in India will be difficult .Film makers can do a better job.The security in India should be re consider state wise and necessary support should be given to state government and common slogan for all states (even though they can go state wise slogan)should be advertised .
