According to recent data published by Euromonitor International, Delhi might soon make it to the list of top 10 most popular destinations in the world. We have the booming tourism industry to thank for this one. The national capital has become a popular spot among global tourists which is leading to Delhi ascending on the list.
What’s More
The Euromonitor International is a UK-based global market research company that has credited this to ‘the attention that India has gained for its yoga retreats and Ayurvedic practices.’ It was reported that currently, the city ranks at 11th position among the top 100 destinations in the world. Seeing the trend, it has been predicted that Delhi will move up to the 8th spot.
