New Delhi, Feb 27 (IANS) Easing of the Indian tourism visa regime through the expansion of Visa on Arrival enabled by Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) will give a fillip to foreign tourist arrivals in the country, the Economic Survey for 2014-15 said here Friday.
"There was an increase in growth on both foreign tourist arrivals at 7.1 percent and foreign exchange earnings at 6.6 percent in the year 2014," the survey, which was tabled by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in the Lok Sabha, said.
"However, India's share of world tourism is a paltry 0.6 percent of international tourist arrivals compared to 7.8 percent in France and 6.4 percent in the US," it added.
India now allows e-visa for 42 countries.
