world top 10 tourism
World tourism got off to a surprisingly sound start in the first four months of 2008, although uncertainty over the global economic situation is affecting consumer confidence and could hurt tourism demand.
Whatever be the case, the year 2007 remained a good year for tourism, as international tourist arrivals reached 903 million, up 6.6 per cent on 2006, with France holding onto its first position ahead of Spain and the US, the World Tourism Organization data released some time back shows.
Sadly, however, out of the 50 most visited countries, India ranked 42nd, with only 5 million international tourist arrivals last year.
Here's a look at the world's top 10 tourist destinations:
Rank: 1
International tourist arrivals in '07: 81.9 million
France remains the top tourist destination in the world. And not without any reason.
It has, in fact, everything that you could ever want to see on your holidays: a great city like Paris, good beaches, more monuments and lovely nature, among others. France is also a very pleasant place to stay.
It has good food, great wines and people enjoy their lives.
And the best thing about it is that, barring Paris, living in France is not that expensive.
Rank: 2
International tourist arrivals in '07: 59.2 million
It's a spectacular and diverse country. The uniqueness of Spain lies in the separate kingdoms which made up the original Spanish nation.

Rank: 3
International tourist arrivals in '07: 56 million
Situated almost entirely in the western hemisphere, the US is one of the world's most ethnically diverse and multiculture nations, the product of large-scale immigration from many countries.
It is also home to several of the world's most exciting cities, some truly mind-blowing landscapes, a strong sense of regionalism, a trenchant mythology, more history than the country gives itself credit for and, arguably, some of the most approachable natives in the world.
Rank: 4
With 54.7 million tourist arrivals in 2007
International tourist arrivals in '07: 54.7 million
China is currently the fourth most popular tourist destination in the world, although using the 2008 Olympics as its launch pad, China is expected to replace France as the world's top tourism destination by 2014.
China is situated in eastern Asia on the western shore of the Pacific Ocean, with an area of 9.6 million square kilometers.
Its continental coastline extends for about 18,000 kilometers, and its vast sea surface is studded with more than 5,000 islands, of which Taiwan andHainan are the largest.
China has one of the world's oldest people and continuous civilizations, consisting of states and cultures dating back more than six millennia.
Rank: 5
International tourist arrivals in '07: 43.7 million

Venice and Verona are the most famous tourist attractions in the north-east.
Rank: 6
International tourist arrivals in '07: 30.7 million
The United Kingdom constitutes of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The country is one of the 15 member states of the European Union and is the leading industrial and exporting country.
The north and the west are made up of high hills and mountains, while the south and east has a lowland zone with milder climate and better soils for farming. Britain's moist climate with persistent rainfall has given rise to many rivers and lakes.
Rank: 7
International tourist arrivals in '07: 24.4 million
Germany's cities have endless pleasant surprises in store for those who enjoy good food and drink.
In addition to top-quality international cooking, each region has its own local specialities, ranging from hearty country fare at simple inns to modern light cuisine at star-rated restaurants.
Germany has not one but many major cities. And each city has its own unique character, formed by its history and the surrounding region. Today, Germany is also an industrial powerhouse.

Anna Hazare ended his 12-day fast Sunday morning before tens of thousands of cheering supporters at Ramlila Maidan by sipping a glass of coconut water with honey offered to him by two girls. The nation, particularly the government of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, heaved a collective sigh of relief at the resolution of a major national crisis as the 74-year-old activist ended his fast at around 10.20 a.m. He began his fast Aug 16 morning and completed 288 hours of fasting. Refresh this page for live updates 6: 10 pm: Thousands arrive at India Gate for the victory March Thousands of Anna Hazare supporters have made their way to the India Gate to participate in the victory march called by him. Those who're not in Delhi have come out in droves in their respective cities to celebrate. 6: 00 pm: Rs.70 lakh and counting, donations still pour in for Anna
Donations have been pouring in from across the country to support social activist Anna Hazare's anti-graft movement. India Against Corruption (IAC), the NGO spearheading it, has so far received more than Rs.70 lakh in cash donations and more is still coming in an activist said.
The donation collection desk at Ramlila ground since Aug 19 - the day Hazare moved there from Tihar Jail - has received cash donations of more than Rs. 70 lakh, Vikas Tyagi, a coordinator at the donation department, told IANS. More
5: 45 pm: Security personnel relieved as Hazare ends fast
It was a daunting task for the hundreds of paramilitary and Delhi Police personnel guarding the Ramlila ground with many of them admitting that it was an 'overwhelming' experience. With Anna breaking his fast for a strong anti-graft bill after 288 hours, most of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Many of the security personnel admitted that they had not seen such large crowds ever and it was a tough challenge to manage them and keeping their cool despite a few untoward incidents including one where policemen were attacked by some drunkards. More
5: 30 pm: Unifying people an achievement: Bhushan
Team Anna member Prashant Bhushan said that the biggest achievement of the anti-corruption movement was that it united people cutting across all divides.
'We are relieved. We can now relax and reflect on the nature of the movement and decide the future course,' Bhushan said.
'It was a roller coaster ride. We felt pessimistic at times. But we always felt that whatever happens in parliament, the movement engaged people across classes and barriers. Young people shed their cynicism and felt empowered. This was an achievement.' More
5: 00 pm: Anna dehydrated and exhausted: Trehan
Anna Hazare is fine and doing well despite his 288-hour-long fast. However, his heart beat is above normal, the principal doctor attending on him said Sunday.
'The heart rate is 94 which is more than a normal (around 80). He is very dehydrated and exhausted,' said Naresh Trehan who closely monitored the 74-year-old Hazare's health during the fast. 'He is being given coconut water and honey as he can easily absorb it. However, this would be increased slowly and gradually in a manner that his body can tolerate it,' he added. More
4: 30 pm: The day India's MPs created history
It was a rare show of unanimity and purposefulness, going beyond party lines. At the special parliament debate on Saturday, MPs transcended their usual acrimonious and disorderly behaviour to demonstrate that when it matters, India's lawmakers can deliver.
They also managed to assert the supremacy of parliament in framing legislations for the nation.
The Lokpal discussion -- stretching over nine hours in the Lok Sabha and eight hours in the Rajya Sabha -- saw a sober tone echoing in both the houses though MPs did criticise each others' viewpoints. More
4: 00 pm: How they kept Ramlila Maidan clean -- only for Anna!
From collecting mounds of garbage, removing slush caused by rains to cleaning toilets, a group of volunteers -- mostly students from premier medical and engineering colleges -- kept Ramlila Maidan, the nerve centre of Anna Hazare's movement, clean at a time when it saw unprecedented footfall on all the 13 days of his fast.
Initially, most of these students came to lend support to Anna Hazare's movement against corruption, but swayed by the electric atmosphere they ended up being part of it. More
3: 30 pm: Bollywood hails Anna Hazare's victory; terms it a new dawn
From Amitabh Bachchan to social activist-actress Shabana Azmi -- expressed their, happiness calling it 'a moment of greatest pride' and 'a new beginning'.
Hazare, who began his fast Aug 16 morning, agreed to break his fast after parliament Saturday broadly agreed to three key demands of his civil society group to battle corruption.
The celebrities took to Twitter to express their feelings. More
3: 00 pm: Team Anna calls for grand celebrations at India Gate
Arvind Kejriwal has called for grand celebrations at ndia Gate on Sunday evening.
Addressing thousands of people at Ram Lila Maidan before Hazare broke his 12-day fast, Kejriwal said: "We appeal to all the people present here to come to India Gate in the evening where we will celebrate the grand victory of the people." More
2: 30 pm: A fasting activist turns a national icon
He drove a truck for the army during the 1965 India-Pakistan war, but when Anna Hazare broke his fast on day 13 Sunday after the Indian parliament agreed to his three demands for a stronger anti-graft legislation the school dropout had won for the people a war against the powerful establishment.
It was a civic-government standoff, broadcast live to the nation by the incessantly chattering 24x7 TV news channels, and at the centre of this spectacular reality show was a frail and fasting 74-year-old man who became a veritable nightmare for the ruling political class, but a hero of the urban middle class reeling under pervasive corruption and an unresponsive system.

2: 15 pm: Anna wins first round, but some worrying signs remain
All's well that ends well. Parliament's acceptance of Anna Hazare's three major demands - bringing the lower bureaucracy under the Lokpal, setting up Lokayuktas in the states and introducing the concept of citizen's charters to deal with public grievances - has led to the septuagenarian crusader to call off his 12-day fast even as he was entering the 'danger zone' in medical terms.
However, a few worrying signs remain because, even in their moment of victory, the conduct of the civil activists left a great deal to be desired. For a start, the fact that the resolution was accepted with the thumping of desks by the MPs and not through a voice vote, as was earlier expected, persuaded Medha Patkar, a prominent community worker, to describe what took place in parliament as 'part betrayal'. Her grouse was that the assurance given to her and her colleagues about a voice vote was not kept. Full story here 1:45 pm: At Ramlila, a mini India watched Anna break fast
Hours before Anna Hazare broke a 13-day hunger strike that shook the nation, all roads led to the Ramlila ground. And as he sipped coconut water, tens of thousands gave him a standing, boisterous ovation that would make any politician go green with envy.
It was a mini India out there. A saffron robed swami. A tall Nihang Sikh in bright blue. Mahatma Gandhi lookalikes. Men with Rajasthani head gears. Retired employees. The jobless. Traders. Vendors. Bus drivers. Farmers.
Like in any movement, the middle class did dominate.
1:30 pm: Team Anna reaches out to Dalits, remembers Ambedkar
Facing criticism from Dalit groups for not having representation from backward and minority classes, Team Anna Sunday remembered B.R. Ambedkar, the architect of Indian constitution, and said they respect the statute.
Activist Anna Hazare broke his 13-day-long fast after drinking a mixture of coconut water and honey offered to him by a Dalit and a Muslim girl.
'The condition of farmers is bad. We have to give them justice. Ambedkar put all this in the constitution but it not being implemented in the parliament,' Hazare told the cheering crowds at Ramlila Maidan.
Team Anna member Arvind Kejriwal turned down allegations that their movement was against the constitution. 'Some Dalits have said that we are against constitution. I want to tell that we respect the constitution and Ambedkar-ji,' he said.
1:15 pm: Anna, his team thank media
The media got a big thank you from Anna Hazare and his team Sunday for their support to the anti-corruption campaign with the 24X7 coverage of the protest.
The 74-year-old activist who broke his fast on the 13th day said: 'I want to thank the media for spreading our message to all my countrymen for the past 12 days...this is a success for them as well.'
Arvind Kejriwal, a member of Team Anna, was also effusive in his thanks to the media.
'We want to thank the media for working around the clock with their cameras, in heat and rain. This was not just their job, they worked 24 hours a day and were a part of the movement too,' Kejriwal said.
Kiran Bedi, another member of Team Anna, described the media as the backbone of the movement.
'Real backbone of this movement was the passionate media. They were willing to forgo their advertisement revenues and allow themselves to become the people's voice,' Bedi tweeted.
1:00 pm: Anna Hazare: A fasting activist turns a national icon
He drove a truck for the army during the 1965 India-Pakistan war, but when Anna Hazare broke his fast on day 13 Sunday after the Indian parliament agreed to his three demands for a stronger anti-graft legislation the school dropout had won for the people a war against the powerful establishment.
It was a civic-government standoff, broadcast live to the nation by the incessantly chattering 24x7 TV news channels, and at the centre of this spectacular reality show was a frail and fasting 74-year-old man who became a veritable nightmare for the ruling political class, but a hero of the urban middle class reeling under pervasive corruption and an unresponsive system.

12:45 pm: Volunteers, backbone of the movement: Kejriwal
Describing them as the backbone of the agitation, Team Anna member Arvind Kejriwal Sunday had a special word of praise for the over 300 volunteers who worked round the clock for 13 days to the keep the movement against corruption going.
Minutes before Hazare broke his fast Sunday morning, RTI activist Arvind Kejriwal said: 'The backbone of the protest is our volunteers who were insulted, scolded, treated in a bad way but still they worked efficiently for hours.'
'On days when I used to sleep here and sometimes get up at 3 a.m., I used to see several volunteers hushing up at the stairs near the dais. When I used to ask them to sleep, they would say - 'No, we want to protect our Anna', that was their spirit,' he said.
12:30 pm: The men and the woman behind Team Anna
Anna Hazare has become a powerful brand for people-driven change. But a brand is not built in isolation. It took, amongst others, the father-son due of a former law minister and an activist lawyer, a former police officer and an income tax officer-turned RTI activist to power the 24x7 Anna Hazare show that fired the nation's imagination like no other. These five people were part of his 'inner circle' of advisers: Who are they?
12:20 pm: Anna Hazare confident of building 'a corruption-free society'
Anna Hazare today thanked the people of the country and the media for extending their support to his campaign against corruption. Addressing thousands of supporters after breaking his 12-day fast at New Delhi's Ram Lila Ground, Hazare said he wants the passing of the Jan Lokpal Bill for a corruption-free society.
"Thanks to all of you. This is your victory. This also the victory of media, thanks to media for awakening people across India. Thanks to the members of civil society. We have shown a new way to the world that anything can be achieved through 'ahimsa'," Hazare said.
"I'm thankful to the youth power for their massive support. This has established that 'Jan Sansad' is more powerful than 'Sansad'. Now, our belief is firm that we can build a corruption-free society. Whatever changes we want, would be done in accordance with the Constitution," he added.
12:10 pm: Anna Hazare wants introduction of "Right to Recall" to change political system
Anna Hazare said that the people of the country must have the "Right to Recall" to change the country's political system.
Addressing thousands of supporters after breaking his 12-day fast at New Delhi's Ram Lila Ground, Hazare said: "Corruption is due to the non-decentralization of power. We have to strengthen our 'Gram Sabha' and change the present election system. We need the 'Right to Recall'." The anti-corruption crusader had told supporters on Saturday evening that he would the end his campaign as the Congress-led UPA government had agreed to his demands to legislate tougher laws against rampant graft.
Union Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee had announced in the Lok Sabha that the civil society's version of the Lokpal Bill would now rest with the Standing Committee. The Jan Lokpal Bill, the anti-graft legislation that Hazare is agitating for, is seen as a weapon to root out corruption and nepotism from the government machinery and in public life.
12:00 noon: Anna Hazare taken to Gurgaon hospital for medical check-up
Anna Hazare, who ended his 12-day long hunger strike today, has been taken to Gurgaon's Medanta hospital for a medical check-up.
Hazare has reportedly lost eight kilograms since he began the campaign for a strong Lokpal Bill on August 16. A medical team from Medanta hospital has been monitoring the 74-year-old's condition closely. full story 11:30 am: PM's letter to Anna Hazare
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh wrote to Anna Hazare after Parliament on Saturday passed a resolution agreeing to the three demands put forth by anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare. Vilasrao Deshmukh personally went to Ramlila Maidan to hand over the letter and a copy of the resolution to
Team Anna. Read the letter on Hindustan Times
11:00 am: Team Anna calls for grand celebrations at India Gate
Team Anna has called for 'grand celebrations' at India Gate Sunday evening to celebrate 'people's victory' as Anna Hazare broke his 12-day fast after parliament broadly agreed to meet three key demands of his civil society group to battle corruption.
'We appeal to all the people present here to come to India Gate in the evening where we will celebrate our republic,' Hazare's close confidant Arvind Kejriwal told the cheering crowds at Ramlila Maidan.
Tens of thousands of people celebrated as Hazare took a sip of coconut water and honey mixture offered by two girls to end his over 288-hour fast in the morning

India wins 1st one-day against S Africa by 1 run 
Ravindra Jadeja celebrates after dismissing AB de Villiers during the first One-Day International between India and South Africa in Jaipur Jaipur, Feb 21 (IANS) India defeated South Africa by one run in a dramatic last-ball finish in the first One-day International at Sawai Mansingh Stadium here Sunday. South Africa, chasing a victory target of 299 runs, almost snatched victory from the jaws of defeat before being bowled out for 297 in the last ball of a tense final over bowled by Praveen Kumar (2-46). The visitors needed 10 runs from the last over, and two from the last ball to tie the match. Wayne Parnell (49 off 47 balls), who brought the match alive with a 65-run ninth wicket stand with Dale Steyn (35 off 19 balls), guided the ball to the third man boundary and went for a double. S. Sreesnath kept his nerve and threw the ball to wicket-keeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who took the bails off in a flash as the crowd erupted in spontaneous celebration. Kumar bowled an excellent last over, dismissing Steyn with the second ball. Last man Charl Langeveldt's shot was then brilliantly saved from a certain boundary by a diving Sachin Tendulkar in the fine leg, for which they took three runs. South Africa were almost out of the hunt when Jacques Kallis, after scoring a stroke filed 89 off 97 balls, was bowled by Sreesnath, who took two wickets but proved to be too expensive, giving away 74 runs. The visitors were off to a good start as Loots Bosman (29) and Herschelle Gibbs (27), riding on their luck, scored 58 runs in 8.4 overs. But after that they lost wickets at regular intervals and were reduced to five for 142. Left arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja was the pick of the bowlers taking two wickets giving 29 runs. Earlier, India, after being asked to bat, rode on useful contributions from the top order to post a competitive total. The Indian innings revolved around Suresh Raina, who top scored with 58, Virender Sehwag (46) and Dinesh Karthik (44) while Mahendra Singh Dhoni (26) and Virat Kohli (31) provided them support. All the batsmen except Sachin Tendulkar, who was unfortunately run out for 4, got a good start but failed to convert it into a big score, leaving the lower order to take charge in the crucial end overs. India scored at a good pace but South Africa did not allow any partnership to flourish. Jacques Kallis, who is leading the side in place of injured Graeme Smith, took three wickets. Sehwag and Karthik added 79 runs in quick time after India lost Tendulkar with just 10 runs on the board. Sehwag struck six fours and two sixes in his 37-ball innings, but he too, was run out. Karthik, who hit five fours and one six, and Dhoni then kept the scoring rate moving before the former was dismissed by fast bowler Charl Langeveldt. Dhoni followed Karthik to the pavilion, becoming the first victim of Kallis. Raina and Kohli kept up the good job with a brisk 66-run stand for the fifth wicket. With both at the crease India reached the 200-mark in the 35th over and were eyeing a big total but South Africa struck back with crucial blows. Kohli left with Herschelle Gibbs taking a fine low catch at short mid-wicket off Morne Morkel. Yusuf Pathan (18), who was making a comeback to the Indian team, did not stay for long, falling to left-arm seamer Wayne Parnell. Left-handed Raina, who hit six fours and one six in his 63-ball knock, was the next to go, dismissed by Kallis. Ravindra Jadeja (22), Praveen Kumar (13) and Ashish Nehra (16) then chipped in to take India closer to a competitive total.

The Sri Lankan bandwagon has shifted from the bustling metropolis of Mumbai to sleepy Jamtha in the outskirts of Nagpur, which doesn't come to life unless its hosting a cricket match. And as the action moves from the history and nostalgia of the Brabourne stadium to the ultra-modern Vidarbha Cricket Association (VCA) stadium � which springs into view like an anchored alien ship in the middle of an abyss � the pace of the game is all set to accelerate. The buzz of reaching the Test summit and the accolades that followed may take a while to wear off for TeamIndia, but while they dominated the Sri Lankans during the Tests, thrashing them 2-0, the two-match T20 series which kicks off in Nagpur on Wednesday promises to be a more even contest. Though Mahendra Singh Dhoni has managed a spotless record while leading his team to the No.1 spot in Test cricket, India's fortunes in the shortest format have fluctuated ever since they won the inaugural World T20 championships in 2007. Recent record They lost to Australia in the only T20 international they played in 2008, while their form this year has deteriorated further. While they won both the Test and ODI series during the tour of New Zealand, India were comfortably beaten in both T20 games. And after bowing out of the second world T20 in England � a tournament which they entered as defending champions � India's seeding has slipped to No.6 for the third edition in the West Indies. Since their memorable triumph in South Africa two years back, India have lost six out of 10 matches. Sri Lanka during the same period have won nine out of 15 games. Kumar Sangakkara & Co enjoyed an unbeaten run into the final earlier this year in England and it was only a spirited Pakistan that halted their progress towards the title. Batting form As the Indian team entered the VCA stadium for their practice session on Tuesday, the baseball bat that accompanied new fielding consultant Mike Young proved to be the centre of attraction. And while most batsmen had a go with it, Dhoni proved that he can hit the ball far regardless of the shape of the willow in his hands. However, the Indian skipper, who struck two centuries during the Test series, has not been at his devastating best in T20 cricket this year. While he averaged 32.60 with a strike-rate of 130.40 in 2007, he has averaged 21.50 with a strike-rate of less than 100. The batting, though, will be bolstered with the return of Virender Sehwag, who missed the second world T20 with injury, while Yuvraj Singh has maintained his consistency with the bat. For Sri Lanka, Tillakaratne Dilshan � player of the tournament in England-with an average of 48.44 with five fifties this year � a record that passes muster even in the 50-over format � is a dangerous proposition at the top of the order. And with the likes of Angelo Mathews and Ajantha Mendis in the mix, the bowling too is in good stead. With Zaheer Khan and Harbhajan Singh rested, the Indian team wears an inexperienced look in the bowling department. Sreesanth too didn't turn up for the practice session on Tuesday. When asked about the Kerala speedster's absence, skipper Dhoni said, "The physio said he was unwell. I think it is diarrhoea and slight fever. We are hoping he will be fit to play tomorrow." The last � and only � time these two teams met in a T20 international, the Pathan brothers, Irfan and Yusuf, guided India home to a thrilling victory. And Dhoni will be looking to focus more on that night in Colombo rather than the disappointments that have followed. Live on Neo Cricket from 5.30pm  Author: Viswanath kiran
