spirituality is what derives india but on the other hand indian temples can never be seen clean so first and for most as a swatch ganga abahyan is being started a same should start for the spiritual points in india the secondly there are majorly 3 other spiritual things that can be marketed firstly festivals as it a major attraction about india secondly ayurveda which can prove to be a great source of monopoly in the whole world and thirdly yoga promote them all together and we will see wonders

self explanatory as per document attached.

The most important piece of promoting India for Spiritual tourism is by telling the story in a simple, emotional and yet effective way. Some examples could be: "Explore the journey of Buddha": This could include a list of places to visit where Gautam Buddha was born, where he got enlightenment etc. "Experience Vedic life: a civilization that is believed to have started 10,000 years ago" I do agree with the points that Cleaniness, Facilities would etc. be the pillars.

First of all join main spiritual places by roadways and railways which gave there people employment and help to broaden the road and railway in India.And mainly during development of any places don't underestimate the enviornment. Ban on plastic bags in the spiritual places.

The biggest challenge promoting spiritual tourism is the fear of being cheated. More promotion with specific focus around information and readily accessible data would be my first plan of action to promote spiritual tourism. Visitors should be aware of what and when and the history behind it. Special efforts needs to be made to ensure these placards, brochures etc are not destroyed by petty middlement trying to make a few bucks. Also, need to maintain these tourist places.

I don't need an attachment as it's very simple 1) cleanliness is a must 2) maintain hygiene 3) awareness of places by means of advertisement internationally 4) seminars held internationally 5)well planned transport system to religious places 6)SAFETY for Tourists 7) fixed shops and vendors certified by govt so that they don't overpay 8) maintenance of old buildings and the history 9) media channel in every city about the city 10) last but not the least NO RACISM! (Saved space for extra work)

Here are my suggestions to support spiritual tourism in India.

I work for a MNC and on each indian festivals we discuss with our clients about festival details,how it is celebrated in different part of our country. Which place is famous for celebration. Also at our place,our company offices we celebrate each festival by skits telling people about our culture.
