Abstract

India is known for diversity in every aspect. The physical geography of the nation has to endeavour in tourism. For developing countries such as India, tourism has been a boon in employment creation and revenue generation. In this particular research paper, the researchers have compared the contribution of tourism to State Gross Domestic product among southern Indian states. The study was based on secondary data. The study found that the tourism sector has been consistently contributing around 6 per cent to the total GSDP of each state. Out of these, Karnataka topped in terms of revenue generation, and Tamil Nadu topped in terms of foreign and domestic visits.
