Ministry of tourism: official press statement for immediate release

The Ministry of Tourism is overjoyed to announce that 2012 was a fantastic year for tourism in India. Ministry statistics reveal that 1,036 million Indians travelled domestically, most of them on my flight. More importantly, 6.58 million foreign tourists also visited the country last year (figure does not include Salman Khan’s accents). This is important, because without their money, our currency would currently be at “One Child” rupees to the dollar and “Every child born in your family ever from now until the end of days” rupees to the pound. Foreign tourism into India showed a growth of 4.3 per cent, which means that 4.3 per cent more white, black and Chinese people were stared at in 2012 than 2011; a healthy, if modest, improvement.
