India ranked world's 4th best holiday spot

NEW DELHI: India seems to have made its mark on the world travel map. Overseas holidayers and travellers have put India in the big league, ranking it as the fourth most attractive and satisfying holiday destination in the world.
It stands ahead of several developed and traditional hot spots like US, France, Singapore, Thailand and South Africa.
According to the 2006 Conde Nast Readers’ Travel Awards, East was the flavour of the season among overseas holidayers, accounting for three of the top five slots.
Thanks to the government’s high-decibel 'Incredible India' campaign in the overseas markets, India has been climbing up steadily over the past few years. This year, it has vaulted to the fourth spot from 10th in 2003.
