This is the second time India is going to organize such a delightful multi sport event- the Commonwealth 2010. India is anticipated to make this event into a major boost to tourism. As per official estimates, two million foreign tourists and 3.5 million domestic tourists are likely to arrive in Delhi in 2010. As a result of the Games, there will be a huge influx of tourists from all the nooks and corners of the globe. For the better benefit and comfort of foreign guests, a huge number of hotels and resorts are pulling up their services. The government is providing tax incentives for hotel rooms to prepare for this influx. With a focus on highly in demand tourist regions as Agra & Jaipur, several developments are to be implemented within a very short while.
In addition, the government has extended a five-year tax refund to the sightseeing and tourism industry to generate jobs and increase development.

These budget hotels can accommodate 1, 30,000 rooms and convention centers in all over the state. To improve connectivity and accommodation of 2010 Commonwealth Games, Tourism department is working at their level best.
During this event, the ministry also plans to organize four shopping events in three states of the country to attract more tourists. They are also keen to popularize the hallmarked jewellery in India with the help of this event. The Indian Ministry is going to host at least four shopping events before CWG 2010.
