Abstract
Understanding the Dynamics of Length of Stay of Tourists in India through Interpretive Structure Modeling
Highlights
Goa periodically calculates the statistic and when last reported, it was around 5 days for domestic tourist and 9 days for foreign tourists. As we compare this with the last reported data of other South-east Asian countries, we find that more focus is required regarding length of stay while formulating policies
Linkage Factors- These are factors having high driving power as well as dependence. These factors are of primary concern for the policy makers as change in these could lead to change in many off the other factors involved in the system
It is concluded that average length of stay does have an impact on the benefits derived from the tourism industry

Number of international and national tourist arrival is considered to be the important factor contributing in development of a nation through tourism industry. A country should simultaneously focus on increasing both the tourist arrival and the length of stay of tourists. By changing the length of stay, there is increase in revenue generated through tourism industry. The average length of stay for domestic tourists remains around 2.6 days and for foreign tourists is around 3.2 days. Goa periodically calculates the statistic and when last reported, it was around 5 days for domestic tourist and 9 days for foreign tourists As we compare this with the last reported data of other South-east Asian countries, we find that more focus is required regarding length of stay while formulating policies. By developing a relationship among the factors determining the length of stay, the study tries to open dimensions for development of a flexible strategic crystal elements which can further boost development of the industry
