India Vs China Tourism Westerner perspective

India can barely handle its domestic tourism. The only way to travel without getting overwhelmed is to travel in off season on weekdays. Besides, foreign tourists increasingly like to visit places that have some element of mystery to it. India is over exposed. There is tremendous amount of natural beauty, but that is not what the average western tourist goes around looking for.

This isn’t green paint to fake scenery. It’s a soil-spraying ecological restoration technology. The green slurry contains plant seeds, organic fiber, water-retaining agents and fertilizer. The green color is just biodegradable dye to help workers track covered areas. Once seeds sprout, vegetation will grow on rocky slopes to prevent soil erosion. Only illegal projects simply spray paint without seeds; don’t confuse standard ecological engineering with misconduct.

Ok "I trust you bro"....
In case of China everything one should believe what people say without presenting any proof but if same video would have come out for India then it would have been the truth.... what kind of this ecological engineering where plastic mats of green leafs are being thrown on the mountains and they are being sprayed with green color so workers can track covered areas? So they don't make any study or carry maps or real time images for the work done and depend on colors?

Take this crap elsewhere as India too is an agricultural country and such type of ecological engineering would have become the subject of study inside India by environmental activists..... like they study Isreal's ecological activities....

India has officially broken into the world’s top 10 tourism economies, securing the 8th rank globally in 2024–25, according to a recent WTTC report. This marks a remarkable leap from its pre-pandemic position (10th), signaling the strength of India’s tourism resurgence. With a $231.6 billion contribution to GDP, the sector now supports over 39 million jobs—fueled by a surge in domestic travel, heritage revival, and digital ease of access. :coffee:

Looking ahead, India’s tourism economy is expected to climb to the 4th position by 2034, overtaking traditional global leaders. From spiritual tourism and wellness retreats to its rich cultural heritage and modern infrastructure, India is fast becoming an all-season, all-segment destination. The rise isn’t just numerical, it’s a shift in narrative. India is not just welcoming the world; it’s shaping how the world travels.
🇱🇰🇮🇳

India recorded approximately 30.89 million outbound tourist departures, with the market size soaring past 28 million travelers. Driven by rising disposable incomes, a young population, and better flight connections, India is one of the fastest-growing outbound travel markets globally, projected to reach over 50 to 80 million travelers by 2030. :coffee:

If you want to taste truly good tea, you have to come to China yourself.

Back then, the British stole tea cultivation and processing techniques from China, but they only learned how to make black tea. The truly excellent varieties of Chinese tea are numerous and diverse.

China is for those tourists who loves modern cities, want to travel in bullet trains, want to see big beautiful malls and overall infrastructure.....

India is for those who loves natural beauty of coastal karnataka, kerala backwaters, beautiful Goa, beautyful hills of Kashmir, ladakh, uttarakhand, sikkim, beauty of meghalaya or Andaman and nicobar islands and Lakshadweep or want an adventurous jungle safaris in tadoba, Jim Corbett, Gir forests, sunderbans and many other places....

China is blessed with infrastructure and modern facilities whereas India is blessed with nature beauty.... no comparison....

Because of too much development major chunk of natural beauty in China is now gone and you are forced to paint mountains and create artificial jungles....

I am thinking about a question. What IQ group would believe that a country of 9.6 million square kilometers has no natural scenery?

Let's make sure Indians don't end up in China, China doesn't need them, they are going to create troubles for China. There is already 100 K Indians working and living in Shenzhen city alone. The CPC is sleeping and has failed the Chinese people and nation on this matter.

CPC's greatest advantage is that it resolves the issues that make people angry at the most efficient speed.

The Chinese Embassy in India has already corrected their mistake; August this year, the rejection rate for Indian business visas by China exceeded 95%.
