About
Analyses foreign visitor trends to India, detailing quarterly arrivals between 2014 and 2020. The dataset was rebuilt from statistics compiled and provided by the Indian Government, intended as foundational data for developing tourism policies and marketing strategies. It includes foreigners (excluding Indian nationals), overseas Indian citizens, and crew members, while specifically excluding non-tourist categories such as diplomats, soldiers, permanent residents, and individuals visiting for cohabitation or residence.
Columns
The dataset primarily includes 'Country of Nationality' as a categorical identifier for visitors, encompassing 63 unique values. Additionally, there are 31 other columns, each representing quarterly visitor statistics for specific periods from 2014 to 2020. These quarterly columns contain numerical data indicating visitor counts for periods like "2014 1st quarter (Jan-March)", "2014 2nd quarter (Apr-June)", and so forth, up to "2020 4th quarter (Oct-Dec)".
Distribution
The dataset is provided in a tabular CSV format and has a size of 10.1 kB. It is structured to allow for quarterly analysis of visitor numbers by country. The number of records for each quarterly period varies slightly, typically ranging from 57 to 63 valid entries, with occasional missing values for some quarters in 2015 and 2017. The mean and standard deviation for visitor counts are provided for each quarter, highlighting fluctuations over time.
