Sažetak
The topic of this research paper is to explore India as an important tourist destination in Asia. The tourism potential in India is enormous but still not fully utilized, especially by foreign tourists and travelers. Although the tourism potential is still to be more commercialized and improved, it is obvious that the tourism in India is increasing in comparison to the average World's growth. The aim of the research is to find out and describe the main tourist regions in India and to identify the resources and tourist attractions of each. Further on, the goal is to analyze and recommend the types of tourism and their characteristic features in eight tourist regions: Western, South-Eastern, Himalayan Northern, North-Western, Northern, Central, North-Eastern, Andaman, Nicobar and Laccadive islands. The methods used in this paper are historical, descriptive, analysis and synthesis. The research results indicate the preference of foreign tourists is towards Western, Northern, Himalayan Northern regions while Central, North-Eastern regions are still not visited sufficiently when it comes to their tourist potential. Contribution of the research is seen in providing the deeper insight in Indian tourism, development potential but also in rising awareness of its possibilities to improve less visited regions and the overall tourism perception to foreign tourists.
