Tourism Industry is one of the fast-growing industry in
the 21st century. Tourism infrastructure is the key
element of tourism development. Tourism industry’s
contribution to the GDP is also impressive (annual
growth rate around 10.35%).
Visits by a tourist create additional development of the
place such as parks, gardens, and museums.
Additional facilities include roads, water systems,
public toilets, signage, etc. Because all of these
infrastructure developments are important for the
tourism sector. While there are many programs
organized by Government at the top level it is the
governance by the local government that supports the
system uniform.
Every development with regard to a place is dependent on the need of the visitors.
Visitors use a variety of facilities depending upon the priority. By proper analysis of the
opportunities plan, necessary facilities that need to be implemented can be identified.
Facilities generally include:
Transportation Facilities
Healthcare Facilities
Water Management Facilities
Waste Management Facilities
Recreational Facilities
Accessibility to the above facilities is the important thing in creating an impression among
tourists. The satisfaction of the tour program is measured by these facilities.
The population of a place and the tourists visiting that place can
have a significant effect on infrastructure development (Tourism
development). Foreseeing the demand that may occur during
seasons is crucial in determining how much money should be
invested in developing the destination.
The development of a place for tourism
can also help in boosting the economy of
the locality. Even though this kind of
development is not noticed easily the
factor of contribution by tourism sector on
the economy is higher.

Travel for pleasure; also the theory and practice of touring, the business of attracting, accommodating,
and entertaining tourists, and the business of operating tours. Tourism may be international, or within
the traveller’s country. The World Tourism Organization defines tourism more generally, in terms which
go “beyond the common perception of tourism as being limited to holiday activity only “, as people
“travelling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive
year for leisure, business and other purposes”. Tourism can be domestic or international, and
international tourism has both incoming and outgoing implications on a country's balance of payments.
Today, tourism is a major source of income for many countries, and affects the economy
of both the source and host countries, in some cases being of vital importance. Tourism
suffered as a result of a strong economic slowdown of the late-2000s recession, between
the second half of 2008 and the end of 2009, and the outbreak of the H1N1 influenza
virus, but slowly recovered. International tourism receipts (the travel item in the balance of
payments) grew to US$1.03 trillion (€740 billion) in 2011, corresponding to an increase in
real terms of 3.8% from 2010. International tourist arrivals surpassed the milestone of 1
billion tourists globally for the first time in 2012, emerging markets such as China, Russia
and Brazil had significantly increased their spending over the previous decade. The ITB
Berlin is the world's leading tourism trade fair..
