Hon'ble PM Sir, I would like to draw ur kind attn towards e waste management system, as the used mobiles, batteries, computers and other products are thrown away by the pepole in garbage, which contains hazardous radio active substances and other harmful matters and they pollute the water and air if the same are burnt in garbage and even can explode. So a proper authorised body need to be made which can handle and issue advise to handle e waste from time to time. Best Regards / Rajinder

**Please read up from bottom 6th post** Cost involved: - Cruise ship purchase/maintanence: A very huge cost. - Can break even over a period of time. - Ports to dock the cruise ships. This is one way to not wait until we fix the infrastructure to attract wealthy tourists/foreign tourists. Thanks.

Benefits for India: 1. Employment - Many experienced hotel management people, chefs work on foreign Cruise ships and visit home every 7-8 months. - THey can work in India and also visit home often. Also, on-shore shops, "safe" shoreline activities like snorkeling, kayak'ing. 2. Revenue from tourism - on shore and off-shore. - Historical sites, Shallow beach sports, sandy sunny beaches, cultural exposure. 3. Attract wealthy Indians whose usual destinations are foreign countries.

2. Foreign tourists who shy away visiting India despite the rich historical, archaeological, geological and who complain about Indian infrastructure, pollution and safety etc - the guided shore excursion would make sure they are not stuck in a polluted traffic zone or any unsafe place. 3. Since tourists are confined to the ship for food/lodging, excellent hygienic environment is provided. 4. Exploring on their own is optional and at their own risk.

(Tuticorin) to many sandy beaches. The cruise package to include safe and secure pre-paid shore excursions as well. The following are reasons why I felt starting a cruise line would be an excellent idea for India. 1. Attract visitors from all over the world who are reluctant to explore on a foreign land on their own, especially a developing nation like India.

Proud more so, because of their communication skills - have to communicate to visitors around the world and spotless hospitality skills. I am sure the executives are equally talented in their management skill to reach that level.It was irking me why there is no cruise line around beautiful coastal India. Our coastal India spans from very ancient/historical (Dwaraka, Poompukar in TN, Orissa) to beautiful (Goa) to busy cities (Mumbai) to green/blue back waters (kerala) to Cape Cameron to fishing

Respected Sir, Since my letter to you is more than 500 characters, I am going to fill in more than one post. Please read all the posts to get the idea. Last week I was on a 4 day cruise from Miami, USA to Bahamas Island on Royal Carribean cruise ship that accommodates about 2000 tourists and a few hundred crew members. It was a proud moment when I noticed that majority of 800+ crew members were Indians specifically from Goa ranking from Top level Managers to house keepers.

While paying Income Tax (IT), we are getting many exemptions on GPF, LIC etc. If GOI add one more item to this list, wonders can be created . It is "expenditure made on tourism”. Expenditure made on tourism can be divided in 2 types. 1)expenditure for travelling & 2) expenditure on purchasing items like handicrafts in tourist spots. Overall IT exemption for family is Rs.1.5 lakh.

Hello PM ji I wanted to share my view on "Women/Girls Teasing in the Bus" that Gov should provide buses only girls and women than teasing problem will decrease automatically and Women/Girls will feel safe in traveling in buses in metro cities.And Gov should think about that only buses for women...

By allowing private sector only in hotel and restaurant will give hope to tourist because lack of basic amenities and security.We have to spent money on ecotourism.we can also reduce carbon emission.We have to proper education to child about tourism with swatch bharath abhiyan.Because future only in the hand of us how we behave and guide them.which is playing important source of income to state example kerala.not only in India many countries like fiji ,cuba get huge amount of money from tourism
