The above statement is true.
Tourism plays a significant role in the economic progress of many countries. India's diverse culture, beautiful landscapes, and natural wonders attract millions of tourists annually. The tourism sector contributes to around 6.8% of India’s GDP. Tourism creates many employment opportunities like hiring guides for tourists, promoting local businesses, encouraging transport, etc. The world heritage sites like the Taj Mahal in Agra, Ajanta and Ellora caves in Maharashtra, Hampi in Karnataka, Red Fort in New Delhi, Sun Temple in Odisha, Kaziranga Wildlife Sanctuary in Assam, and Keoladeo National Park in Rajasthan are some tourist attractions. The beaches, backwaters, and hill ranges attract tourists during the peak seasons. The growth in the tourism sector increases the domestic production of indigenous products.
