Tourism ministerVishvendra Singhsaid that for some time the foreign tourists are not going to come and our focus should be on attracting domestic travellers. We have monuments and palaces. But we need to create more activity-based tourism to attract domestic travellers.Rajasthanhas huge tourism potential and we have been able to realize only 20 per cent of it. That means we can do much better, said Singh.
