Bihar Tourism: Retrospect and Prospect

The development of tourism in India is a fascinating subject. India?s glorious traditions and rich cultural heritage are closely linked with the development of tourism. Its magnificent monuments attract a large number of visitors from allover the world. Many major issues relating to socio-economic and cultural impact of tourism are widely discussed in the book that will help to understand economic development and activities of tourism industry.

The book has been divided into ten chapters. The main contents of the book include : Profile of Bihar, Tourism and Tourist Places in Bihar, Tourism and Hospitality, Fairs and Festivals, Marketing and Tourism Policy of Government of India vis-?-vis Bihar.

It is hoped that the book will not be of interest to the people of the study area only but would also give new idea to the planners, administrators, academics and other social scientists concerned with the tourism management/industry.
