Artificial intelligence is particularly relevant to travel and tourism for several reasons. Tourists need to make a series of decisions about future trips, for example, choosing a destination, transport, accommodation, and activities, among other things. These decisions will have a significant impact on tourists’ satisfaction with their trip.

Artificial intelligence is particularly relevant to travel and tourism for several reasons. Tourists need to make a series of decisions about future trips, for example, choosing a destination, transport, accommodation, and activities, among other things. These decisions will have a significant impact on tourists’ satisfaction with their trip. However, the range of destinations, transport, accommodation, and activ- ities currently available presents an almost infinite array of options necessitating assistance. Tourism organizations and agents face a similar challenge when trying to find the best match between customers and travel packages tailored to their needs. Organizations have an almost infinite supply of potential customers.
In the past, economy of Ladakh was mainly dependent on the agricultural sector, government jobs and armed forces but now the tourism sector has emerged as a main contributing agent to the economy.

In the past, economy of Ladakh was mainly dependent on the agricultural sector, government jobs and armed forces but now the tourism sector has emerged as a main contributing agent to the economy. The impact-oriented studies related to tourism for Ladakh are limited to social, cultural, and geographical aspects, lacking a focus on impact of tourism on economic development of Ladakh. Hence, the present study provides an empirical analysis of the impact of tourism on the economy of Ladakh. Consequently, the study provides effective suggestions to policymakers for development of sustainable tourism that boosts economic development in Ladakh.

Whether you are going for a trekking tour in the Indian Himalayan region or beach holiday in Andaman, Goa or Kerala you will surely get a glimpse of some of the tribes dwelling in the region.

Whether you are going for a trekking tour in the Indian Himalayan region or beach holiday in Andaman, Goa or Kerala you will surely get a glimpse of some of the tribes dwelling in the region. In contrast to leisurescapers, the explorers who travel to seek the indigenous colours of India go deep into the Indian tribal chapters to capture their lifestyle and art.Their lifestyle is completely different from the rest of the world. With an obscure history they are still competing to get along with the modern trend. Their livelihood is mainly dependent on agriculture and handicrafts but the tribes of India still display a wide spectrum of “another India” you hardly know about. One cannot, however, get the complete picture about the whole tribe just by studying or getting close to one particular tribe as each one of them has its own respective culture – food, festival, dance, music, religion and language. This book explains the blend of cultural tourism with tribal communities in india.
Ladakh is a high-altitude desert in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. Covering an area of 40,000 square miles, Tourist arrivals grew rapidly from a few hundred in the initial years to around 15,000 by the mid-1980s. Foreign tourist arrivals have stabilized at about this level.

The last 15 years have seen a vigorous program of development in Ladakh, which has brought changes in education, health care, agriculture, energy, and transportation. Tourism is concentrated in the predominantly Buddhist settlements of the Indus Valley, of which the ancient capital and trading center of Leh (population 8,000) is the hub. Many areas of Ladakh are still off limits to foreign visitors due to their proximity to the Chinese and Pakistani borders. A large part of southern Ladakh is accessible only by foot.Tourism, a major contributor to Ladakh's cash economy, has brought clear economic benefits to the minority involved in this trade. The tourism economy is centered around Leh, and very little of the economic benefit of tourism accrues to the more than 90 percent of Ladakhis who live outside of this area. Within Leh the handful of Ladakhis who own large hotels benefit disproportionately. Much of the money spent in Leh goes to tour operators and merchants who come to Ladakh just for the tourist season. Those who do live outside of Leh benefit somewhat from trekkers. They frequently rent out their pack animals and occasionally lodge trekkers not traveling with prearranged tour groups.

Women Entrepreneurs may be defined as the women or a group of women who initiate, organize and operate a business enterprise. The Government of India has defined women entrepreneurs as ―an enterprise owned and controlled by women having a minimum financial interest of 51 per cent of the capital and giving at least 51 per cent of the employment generated in the enterprise to women‖. Women entrepreneurs engaged in business due to push and pull factors which encourage women to have an independent occupation and stands on their on legs. A sense towards independent decision-making on their life and career is the motivational factor behind this urge. Saddled with household chores and domestic responsibilities women want to get independence. Under the influence of these factors the women entrepreneurs choose a profession as a challenge and as an urge to do something new. Such a situation is described as pull factors. While in push factors women engaged in business activities due to family compulsion and the responsibility is thrust upon them.

It comprises of aspects such as online advertising; publishing of credible information for customers; communicating with the customers through discussion forums, blogs, social networks and much more.

It helps to increase the customer base of the hotels by understanding their concerns, responding to their queries and also providing better services based on the opinions shared. Being an avid traveller myself, there have been instances wherein I have experienced manipulations through social media.

My experiences with tourism and its influence on internet in transforming the tourism industry is what influenced me to write this book.
