Question:

India is a tourists' paradise on Earth as we have so much to offer to the visitors. No other country in the world possesses so much variety. The breath-taking beauty of the Himalayas, its valleys and rivers, the numerous wildlife sanctuaries dotted all over the country, our still unspoilt sea beaches, our great temples and caves and historical monuments, our music and dance, our festivals and national celebrations, would attract any tourist in the world. They are all our potential foreign exchange earners.

If we wish to earn more from our tourists, we must build up more infrastructure. The Government of India has intensified efforts to build more hotels in the country. Those in the hotel business are allowed to have foreign collaborations. Our hotels must offer such facilities that foreigners love: these are 24-hour service, swimming pools, tennis courts, club houses, massage centres, indoor and outdoor restaurants, playgrounds for children, dance floor with live music in season and so on. These would make for an exciting tour.

The Government is also providing new and better facilities.

Tourism is everybody's business as all benefit from it. Wealth flows from affluent countries to the less affluent. Within the country itself it moves from the developed areas to the less developed ones. It flows from the rich to the poor, the tourist trades in the countries he visits. We can arrange group tours for foreigners on a large scale. Even a humble taxi driver does something for tourism, as he talks well of his country.

So, let us give the tourist, a wholesome experience of our country. When the tourist is satisfied with the facilities offered to him, what he tells his people back home will do publicity for us. Then others would also be tempted to come to our country when we say, "Welcome to India".

According to the author, "wealth flows from affluent countries to the less affluent", by which he means:

Options:

Rich people never visit another country.

Government welcomes only rich people.

People from a rich country will visit a not so rich country.

Poor people never travel.

Correct Answer:

People from a rich country will visit a not so rich country.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → People from a rich country will visit a not so rich country.

Explanation:
- The author suggests that tourists from affluent countries travel to less affluent countries like India.
- This movement of tourists from wealthier nations to less affluent ones contributes to the flow of wealth.
- Therefore, the statement implies that people from richer countries visit countries with lesser wealth, such as India, for tourism purposes.
