Intercontinental Romance

Tourism indirectly encourages relationships and marriages between the foreign woman tourist and the man at first sight in the tourism chain during her visit to India. "Things are great" says Wali Ahmad,28, a former guide who moved to Switzerland in 2011 with his wife whom he met while she was touring Agra. "I give cooking classes on Indian food there. And sure our families approve of the match" . His wife , Analiese,26, who works in a clothing store back home, admits there are cultural differences but on the whole , things are good. She is in Agra at the moment to look up her in-laws. "I am hoping they will visit Switzerland soon." I too feel very satisfied at such developments taking place quietly in the country with a view to achieving financial security and married life by the couple, thanks to international tourism. Intercontinental, interracial and inter-religious marriages are taking place to promote world citizenship! One should hail and welcome such a step. +++++++++++++++++
