Initial Insights
Actual Responses from people
The Taj itself is magnificent...just visit and get out quick!
Agra is not a place you want to spend much time in after
seeing the Taj
Our hotel faced the Taj and the balcony looked out on the
Taj. We could not use the balcony
Taj Mahal - a day trip or overnight stay?
You can do a day trip to Agra from Jaipur by road or by trainbecause all you have to do in Agra is see the Taj and Agra
Fort, and then head back.

Hospitality
City is polluted, water is polluted, lack of basic amenities
Identified as a "pollution intensive zone" by the World HealthOrganization (WHO)
City is also unplanned and dirty and the stench of rottinggarbage all over the city is very repulsive
Worse electricity blackouts which do affect indirectly
Hotel lobby of Delhi is very strong and itenary is designed in amanner to accommodate tourists in Delhi
As per the study by Ministry of Tourism, (Market Pulse Report-2004), Agras availability of 175-rooms/lakh tourist issubstantially lower than the national average of423 rooms/lakhtourist and the state average of 404 rooms/lakh tourist
Lack of tourist information centers

Culture
No night life in Agra with less of cultural festivals
Taj Mahal visit timings only during the day
Fear that boosting tourism would further contribute to the
deterioration of the Taj Taxi owners , guides etc engage in unfair trade practices with the
foreigners and hence no tourist-friendly culture
Inhospitality of police and their original UP attitude
Anti-social behaviour of hawkers and touts is irritating There are various UP tourism shops/emporiums and petha shops,
but they are located at different places of the city

Proposal
Agra can be converted into an international convention centre
Jaypee in Agra is one of the few convention centres
The Agra summit was help here and can capitalize this
opportunity more because of closeness to Delhi
