Indian Cricket And Its Effect On International Tourism

Cricket in India is religion personified. The zeal and passionate frenzy with which the game is played, followed and analyzed is unmatched anywhere else in the world. Cricket is to India as Soccer is to Brazil. Sports have always been harbinger of friendship and peace. Indian cricket calendar is never empty and there is either one series or another just round the corner. While cricket teams move along from one part of the country to another, ardent followers of the game and fanatical supporters of the teams also move along. Thousands of international tourists pour in every year from different parts of the world to support the team while they take on India. Now it has almost become a regularity that all the hotels in the host city run full for a couple of days to a few days before and after the rubber.

Hotel reservation in India reaches a crescendo during the peak cricket season or at the time of a tour by a foreign team. Though tourists come with the primary objective to see a game of quality cricket and enjoy the carnival like atmosphere, there are enough attractions in India they can visit. Important cricket venues like Delhi, Mumbai, Jaipur, Kolkata, Chennai, Goa, Nagpur, Indore and Bangalore are not only famous for wonderful cricket infrastructure but also as some of the finest tourist destinations. Since the itinerary is prepared early enough, tourists who plan to visit India with the cricket team have enough time to make the necessary hotel bookings in those particular fixtures. Last minute reservation in these cities on the days of the fixture can be pretty troublesome.

Hotels in India have now geared up for this new business prospect. Online hotel reservation in India has enabled hotels in India to make the most of cricket tourism.
