Picture information 

Description:
According to Wikipedia, in 2006, Qutub Minar received more visitors than Taj Mahal itself. This footfall made it the most visited monument of India.

Qutub Minar, of course, is one of the most talked about monuments in India. Most of the children know the false tale woven around it that once upon a time, it had seven storeys.

The Qutub Minar complex invites lots of foreigners, India, local visitors, school children, and individuals. Catering to their various needs right from food and transport opens a host of opportunities. At the same time, micro level businesses like visitor's guide and translation also thrive on individual basis.

Before the digital photography came and everybody started clicking photos through mobile phones, professional photographers made good business clicking visitors and sending them photographs through post.

According to some unquoted sources, there are around 800,000 monuments in India that are unprotected. Is tourism India missing a lot of opportunities?
