The choice of tourist sites was automatic and short: the Taj Mahal, the monuments of Delhi, the places of Jaipur and Udaipur, the bathing ghats of Varnasi. A few went to Kashmir and Goa. And the adventurous handful picked up their rucksacks to trek through the Himalayas. But that was about all. The rock-cut carvings of the South Indian temples, the forests of Madhya Pradesh and the sand dunes of Rajasthan - for most tourists this did not exist at all. Now the old whistle-stop tour image of India is

in for a radical change. Through a series of expensive promotion campaigns, the Tourism Department is trumpeting India s countless glories: its golden beaches, its sanctuaries teeming with wildlife, its quiet hill stations and its Buddhist historical sites. As part of the hard sell, seminars are being organized to woo travel agents in the US and Europe. Food festivals are introducing Europeans to the mouthwatering delights of the Indian cuisine. And the Government has liberalized rules for hotels, air charters and other sectors of the tourism industry. 1. Why were foreign tourists attracted to India? 2.
