Click to play videoMumbai: Less than a year after Mumbai terror attacks jolted the country, the travel and tourism companies have started cashing in on the attacks.
Till about a year ago, Gateway of India was the biggest tourist attraction in Mumbai but after 26/11 all tourists want to visit Taj Hotel site to get the details of the terror attacks.
One needs to shell out approximately Rs 2,000 to take a look at the bullet marks at Nariman House or get an elaborate description of gunbattle at Cama Hospital and the three-day siege at Taj Hotel.
“I had seen the 26/11 attack on television in Delhi but here I can see the AK-47 bullet marks at Nariman House,” says a tourist Deepshikha Singh.
However, not all tour guides give the right details. Most of what they say are cooked up stories.
While international travel agents are also travelling to India to visit the Mumbai terror attacks site, many tourists think this kind of tourism should not be promoted.
“It is wrong because in future it will become a bigger means of publicity,” says a tourist Vijay.
