New Delhi: For globetrotters choosing a place is not that difficult. To enjoy one's holiday, a person looks for best places to have fun and this becomes even more wholesome when money is spent at the right place.
Although travelers know well where they are heading to and what their expectations from that place are and some of them even inquire details and itinerary of the place to be visited before actually going. Yet there are still many who do not know the specific reason behind their travel, they just travel to enjoy.
But in an ideal situation (unless you are an avid traveler) one must know where one is heading to, for example, for what that place is famous for and why people love to spend their time and money at such places, in other words the tourist spots, the commonly visited hubs, hotels etc. of a particular place.
Recently, a report showed that money that the Swiss tourists spend in India has shown a rise. In 2014, the amount spent by Swiss tourists on hotels has increased by 11 percent.
So, read below to know why those coming from Switzerland love to spend at Indian hotels more and what hoteliers have in store for them -
Accommodation
For Rs 1000 per night, you get a large bed with good to go furniture, plug outlets, clean bathroom, with hot water shower facility and many more to count on.
Food
India is a dream destination when it comes to spicy food, as you can barely walk two meters without facing another street stall or restaurant serving up some kind of snack or dish that you would wish to devour.
If you want to have street food then food from Rs. 20 to Rs 50 is available and if you want to have food from restaurants then you need to spend some more bucks around Rs. 200 - 1500 (depends upon the dishes that you order and the city or town that you visit). Recently, Government of India raised service tax- so be careful, the price may varyJ.
Transportation
Whether you want to travel by train, bus or plane, traveling won't be too heavy on your pocket. Flights are worth checking out these days, especially for long distances that you can cover in $75 USD.
VISA process
Being a traveler, you will definitely look for a travel destination which is hassle free or which doesn't require much paper work, right? And India is one such place. It is on the top of the travelers list because of its cultural diversity.
Not only this – the thing that most of the travelers run away from is – visa process and related formalities. But now, this important aspect too can be done easily. The process of obtaining a visa has been optimized; foreign currencies no longer require authorization. It is applicable for both sides- Switzerland and India.
For US Citizens, the 6-month multiple entry tourist visa costs $63 USD (including processing fee) and the 5-year tourist visa costs $153 USD. But again, prices differ for all nationalities.
Sight seeing and tourist spots
Be it Taj Mahal or Red fort --- you need to pay a minimal amount. Some places might cost mere Rs 5 as entry fee, others might cost Rs 200 also. So, it depends on you, who is traveling.
After all, India isn't called “Incredible India” just like that. Travel and experience yourself!
