Tamil Nadu to top the tourism list in 10 years

Tamil Nadu Tourism Minister S.P. Shanmuganathan said the state is all set to become a major tourist destination in about a decade. He was speaking after inaugurating the month-long annual Indian Dance Festival at Mamallapuram on December 28, 2014. The minister said the tourism policy, conceived by the AIADMK government in 1991-92, and steps initiated during subsequent AIADMK regimes had resulted in a steady increase in the number of tourists to Tamil Nadu.


“The state, which leads in promoting health tourism, has initiated various promotional activities, and achieved the first rank in domestic tourist arrivals in 2013. The same year, it ranked second in foreign tourist arrivals,” he added.
