Abstract India has always been an attraction seeker to tourist from all over the world. India indeed stands through its tittle “INCREDIBLE INDIA” because of its diversity in culture and religion. Tourism in India is economically important and is growing rapidly. About 22.57 million tourist arrived in India in 2014, compared to 19.80 million in 2013. In terms of foreign tourist arrivals, India ranked as the 38th country in the world. With the help of Fuzzy-AHP technique, i.e. Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process is the best method decided for finding the most influential tourist place from the tourist point of view. The purpose of this work is to present a multi criteria decision making (MCDM) model for management of tourists across various tourist places in India. In this work five (5) criteria from various literature reviews and practical investigations has been taken. Fuzzy-AHP techniques is used to ample decision makers assesments about criteria weightings. Finally, a factual study is done for identifying the best tourist place across India. In this work, about 30 states are taken and various survey are conducted among different groups of people and then final decision is made by the computational process and effectiveness of Fuzzy-AHP.

“Incredible India”, is a slogan adopted by Indian government to attract tourists. India as a whole country not only supports tourism, but each state of the country has sensed the importance of tourism in their own perspectives. So every state of India is creating different sources to tug domestic as well as foreign tourist toward it. When a tourist decides to travel a place, budget, ease of travelling, and security problems are the multi criteria structures. In the context of selecting a place for travel, it is important to include certain elements that provide attributes and make tourist’s decision easier, safe, and comfortable leading to a holiday or travel plan. People check different sources like internet, tourist offices, and question the locals to attain a decision of travel.
