ABSTRACT:
Atithidevo Bhavah is a verse in Sanskrit. It means to consider the guest as god. This
statement is drawn from an ancient scripture which has been the ethos of Indian
culture. Recently, this verse has found its place in the tagline of Ministry of Tourism in
order to improve the treatment of the foreign tourists visiting the country due to the
popularity the country has gained in the recent times as a popular and favorite tourist
destination.
The concept of Atithidevo bhav is deep rooted in our Indian culture and is carried
forward with same spirit as it used to in ancient times. The text gives an insight into the
number of foreign tourists arrivals in India during different seasons which is supported
with data. The concept also gets reinforced when the statistics show that tourists of all
age groups from across the globe love to visit India.
