"During 2011, the number of Foreign Tourist Visits (FTVs) to Indian states/union territories was 19.5 million as compared to 17.9 million in 2010 and 14.4 million in 2009," said a statement by the ministry.

"This year, the number of FTVs registered a growth of 8.85 percent over 2010 as compared to a growth of 24.6 percent in 2010 over 2009," it added.

Domestic tourism continued to grow at a double digit rate in 2011.

"Number of domestic tourist visits during 2011 was 851 million as compared to 748 million in 2010 and 669 million in 2009 increasing at a rate of 13.8 percent over 2010 as compared to increase of 11.8 percent in 2010 over 2009."
