New Model on Cluster Competitiveness in Tourism Industry

The tourism cluster, presents a more positive potential than other clusters in contributing to India's growth. The natural endowments and cultural heritage of India provide a solid foundation for tourism cluster's development. Lack of innovation, safety and environmental standards have led to inability to capture higher-value demand. This low-value demand has limited the incentives for new investments in infrastructure, discouraging innovation and adoption of best practices. Indiaâs government, industry and institutions for collaboration must break the vicious cycle to enable tourism in India to become more competitive and to emerge as a leading cluster driving Indiaâs over-all economy.
