Reasons
Foreigners expect tourism spots to have air connectivity: An official

A Karnataka Tourism official said several reasons contribute to the decline in foreign tourist numbers. He said they expect direct air connectivity to tourist spots, good hotels with wide-range of food choice, availability of accommodation of their choice, which they cannot provide always.
