Publication Identifier: WHE761EEEBF72

Summary

Agra Fort, despite its historical and architectural significance, lags behind the Taj Mahal in tourist awareness and economic benefits. A study reveals that while Agra attracts a substantial number of visitors, most are unaware of its other monuments, limiting the region's potential for tourism-driven economic growth. The research evaluates factors contributing to this disparity and analyzes challenges faced by tourists in Agra. Using a case study approach, it examines the economic impact of tourism on the state, highlighting the need for better promotion and visitor engagement strategies to maximize benefits.
