Data notes & caveats

The figures count recorded domestic tourist visits, not unique travellers. The 2024 publication marks Delhi and Maharashtra as estimated, and rounded area values can differ slightly from the published national total.

Methodology

Domestic tourist visits were compared across Indian states and union territories using the official annual series. Rankings retain the stated year, change pages match identical areas across both endpoints, and concentration calculations use the published All India total rather than the selected rows.

Source consistency notes

All values use one Reserve Bank of India handbook series, the same domestic-tourist-visit definition and the periods stated on each page.
