Trichy Tourism Statistics

Tourist flow to the Tamil Nadu State had been increasing by 21 per cent every year.

Tamil Nadu has various tourist attractions, ranging from hill stations to historic monuments. Providing the statistics of the tourist inflow, another interesting information is - 6.5 crores local tourists and 17 lakhs foreigners had visited the State and 62 lakh local tourists and 2.56 lakh foreigners had visited Trichy in 2008. The Tirumalai Naicker Mahal was visited by 3.74 lakh local tourists and 30,000 foreigners last year.

This is a good tourist traffic for last year. However, I think for the potential of Trichy - much more can be achieved!
