There have also been many searches for beach destinations in India like Andamans, Goa, Kerala’s Kovalam, Daman and Diu. All this indicates the chances of massive domestic tourism in India.
PM’s Visit Puts The ‘Hidden Gem’ Back On Tourism Map
We all know that PM Modi’s visit has been a catalyst that stirred the uproar for Lakshadweep on the Internet. While the pristine beaches, food, and overall vibe of this island have never been in question, it never really topped the charts as a vacation destination. That is until the PM posted about his visit and presented the beauty of Lakshadweep to the world.
People not just in India but abroad have since taken to the Internet to know more about this destination. This has led to many people already booking their vacation and many searching about it online. According to experts, this surge will help boost tourism in Lakshadweep and encourage authorities to develop infrastructure for direct connectivity to the island.
