What the Data Shows
This benchmark measures how concentrated India’s domestic tourist visits were among the leading states and union territories in 2024. The shares use the official All India total of 2,948.19 million recorded visits. The five leading reporting areas accounted for 60.3% of the national total, while the top two accounted for 32.3%. Uttar Pradesh alone represented 21.9%, making it the largest single destination share in the table.

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.
