India A Safe And Secure Destination - I 0.5 Million tourist arrivals September - November 2001Down turn after 11th September Disaster India Condemns TerrorismNo incidents… “ Now we know why terrorism has hit tourism the most. Tourism is a foe of terrorism. Whereas terrorism feeds on intolerance and arrogance, tourism breed tolerance and empathy. Terrorism seeks to erect walls of hatred between faiths and communities. Tourism breaks such barriers. Terrorism detests pluralism, whereas tourism celebrates it. Terrorism has no respect for human life. Tourism pays a tribute to all that is beautiful in nature and human life. Terrorism may have temporarily hit tourism in this metaphorical battle between the two. But tourism will make a major contribution to the eventual defeat of terrorism and all other manifestations of fanaticism”. Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Prime Minister of India
