Approximately around 1.3 million American tourists came to India for touring purposes in the year
2016/17 , This is second to just one other nationality (Bangladesh). We pondered over the reasons why India from USA is surging and American tourists come to India as a favorite holiday destination. The possible reasons for the same probably are: –

1-NRI’S first choice – India from USA

The Indian population in the US is one of the fastest-growing ethnic groups, These non-residents
Indians are an affluent lot in the US. These people come on India tour from U S A and visit India almost every year, The people of Indian origin in US promote India to fellow Americans by telling them a lot about India at large and their India tour experiences. This seems a major reason for the popularity of India as a holiday destination amongst American citizens.

2- Culture and History of India-

America is the world’s oldest democracy while India is the world’s largest democracy. India has a very old civilization spanning more than 5000 years. America is a multi-ethnic society where immigrants from all racial origins have come and adopted the United States Of America as their home nation. Perhaps before U.S.A India was the most preferred destination of the Immigrants worldwide. Indian society is also based on a series of immigration from Central Asia, Europe, Africa. These immigrants brought their own set of cultural traits, This is similar to the story of USA, India is a cauldron of various cultures, This culture cauldron gave birth to a unique culture. American citizens love to experience Indian culture and society where there is a multitude of religions and languages. This attracts the American citizen thus they come to experience this unique culture.

American society is a consumerists society where wealth is largely associated with happiness ancient religions also are fast losing the believers this philosophy is very similar to an ancient Indian philosophy of “Charwaak”. In India population at large is a believer of religion and they mostly attribute their sufferings and happiness to the past Karma. This lets them take the vagaries of life in a positive manner. The staunch belief in rebirth makes death less horrific. In the narrow alleys of Varanasi, it’s a culture shock for the Americans as they see hundreds of corpses being cremated while the city life moves on nonchalantly.
