Two issues concerning Tourist spots in India.?
India today is developing its tourist spots to attract more foreigners. But a lot of State Governments are forgetting the large numbers of Indians who also visit these tourist spots. In many tourist spots rickshaws and taxi's charge exorbitant rates even to us fellow Indians. The Government should make some form of uniform rates in these places. The rickshaw/Taxi owners do have a right to charge a higher fare at tourist spots but not so high that people don't feel like visiting that place again. Another bad trend noticed is the Architecture of new buildings, whether its public toilets or hotels at these places. Most of us who visit these place are from big cities where we see modern architecture daily. Do we really want to visit tourist spots with the same boring modern buildings. We are going there to relax, not to work and to look at buildings that remind us of our offices. A small request to the future builders at touristic destinations, we don't need a fancy looking toilet built near a 500 year old temple. In other words, if your building a public toilet in the area of an old stone temple, you can always build a toilet made of stone, believe me its much cheaper and lasts longer. At least make an effort to blend with the old or existing architecture so that people want to look at the temple more than they want to look at the toilet. This concept can also be used for other larger buildings. Well this is just a suggestion. You are right teenmoon so now I'm asking this as a question. Do you think our tourist spots are being developed in the right way?
