Foreign Exchange Earnings from tourism in India to increase by 6.8% to $30.8 billion in 2019

[suresh1773]

Mostly NRI's visiting india. Nothing more.

Most non residents Indians who come to visit their relatives don't come on a tourist visa.

Apart from goa I have never seen large number of foreign tourists anywhere in India. I have seen a few in Uttarakhand and near himalayan mountains but they are fairly low spending bikers or hippes. High spending tourists mostly focus on Kerala and few in rajasthan. Even in India's busiest airports like Delhi or mumbai you will rarely see significant touristy looking foreingers. Some business travellers thats about it. Most INdian flights to and from aborad are generally filled (ninety five percent plus with desis).

They dont classify foreigners based on their tourist visa but based on the citizenship they hold.

India's tourism prospects are promising, and foreign tourists in China's tourism industry have been declining in recent years. It is estimated that the depreciation of the RMB this year will increase some tourists.

You are right to say that the devaluation of the currency this year is good for China's tourism industry.
But I think the devaluation of the RMB does more harm than good.

Yes if they hold PIO card (most do nowadays).

But official definition of PIO is below

A Person of Indian Origin (PIO) means a foreign citizen (except a national of Pakistan, Afghanistan Bangladesh, China, Iran, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and Nepal)
who at any time held an Indian passport
Or who or either of their parents/ grand parents/ great grand parents was born and permanently resident in India as defined in Government of India Act, 1935 and other territories that became part of India thereafter provided neither was at any time a citizen of any of the aforesaid countries ( as referred above);
Or Who is a spouse of a citizen of India or a PIO

Are PIOs included in NRI category in this report?

Yes PIO/OCI/NRI are in same group

No PIO's will come under foreigners. PIO is a visa status does not change your citizenship.

PIO/OCI is not a visa status, in fact they get U visa

I wish you could go through that report in detail, it has more than what you can phantom off.

when a braindead bhakth argues it just sounds like mumbo jumbo mantras vomited by brahmin in puja of which he himself does not know the meaning. No PIO/OCI and NRI are not in the same group. what visa is printed on OCI ? OCI itself is visa. sheesh. The standard technique of tiring out people with circular, irrelevant details. They do this because they have no self respect.

When you dont know anything, dont spread the bull shit. You stink like gutter on the forum, when you do that.

Until recently a U visa sticker was put on the foreign passports of OCI.

OCI card clearly says " No VISA required" - what does that mean ? OCI = overseas citizen of India. PIO = People of Indian Origin, NRI = non resident Indian . How are they same you moron - OCI and PIO can be argued as same with different priveleges but they must be foreigners or hold foreign passports they cant have Indian passports, buy agri land in india, run for elections. you are one standard issue namoona bhakth and "indian" absolutely mindless arguements.

Hey false flag Bakistani, the only difference a PIO have from an NRI is, an NRI can vote and buy agricultural land. While a PIO can live in India for unlimited time, buy real estate, land etc... UK take PIO as dual nationality.

And who the fuk cares if he's an Indian origin,or a foreigner the dollar is always green.

what is "bakistani" ..it takes some gall to come to a pakistani centric forum and use slander words against them. An NRI is Indian moron - he is just not resident Indian for tax purposes. whereas PIO and OCI are not Indians but foreign passport holders with some ancestral or cultural connection to India.

Well your fellow bhakth cared a lot - all I was saying is that most "tourism" in India is people of desi origin.

LOL! It's the Arabic name of Pakistan given there is no P in Arabic word. Anyway,


Did I say NRI is not an India?, read what I said instead of blabbering stuff like a fool. Also, how do you know most tourist in India is PIO card holders. Now you start giving numbers out of your as$?

Your too clever by half responses may cut mustard among brahmins but wont pass mustard anywhere else. Reporting your post let mods take what they want to.
what blabbering you moron..you said NRI/PIO/OCI are same when they arent. And I said most foreign tourists in India are desis not PIO specifically. it is tiring to argue with people this dense.

@Viny @Chhatrapati

Don't bother with this butthurt piece of crap.

I for one love how much coverage foreign tourists are giving India now on youtube. It's reaching a really large audience out there....much more than this false flagger crying in here.

31 billion USD revenue is good growth and must keep increasing. It is now nearly 10 times what it was in early 2000s.

Please don't shatter his bubble. It's not worth it.

what is a "false flagger" LOL ...and why is the need of you having to gang up with fellow bhakths viny, chatrapati against me for a simple post LOL. Yes it is increasing because emigration of skilled Indians has alo increased by leaps and bounds - they got foreign citizenship and visiting to india and being counted as "tourists".

Oh I'm so scared.

what blabbering you moron..you said NRI/PIO/OCI are same when they arent. And I said most foreign tourists in India are desis not PIO specifically.

A PIO card holders do not need tourist visa. Number of tourist are based on the number of tourist visa granted. Is it that hard to comprehend? Some cognitive deficiency.
