Two of the things I must say most the tourism places of Bharat that I dislike
- Different entry fees for foreigners ( It is a racist policy as well as must last done away with)
- Charges for cameras/ video-cameras ( I produce non sympathise , almost every other mobile has a capability to stimulate got a photograph as well as a video. How much does it help to accuse video graphy /photography)
- Parking charges ( where its clearly mentioned at 'Owners Risk'. Okay if its a agency for the locals to brand simply about quick money)
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 uniform tourism guide as well as policy volition help a lot.
