Tourist flow to the Tamil Nadu State had been increasing by 21 per cent every year.
Tamil Nadu has various tourist attractions, ranging from hill stations to historic monuments. Providing the statistics of the tourist inflow, another interesting information is - 6.5 crores local tourists and 17 lakhs foreigners had visited the State and 62 lakh local tourists and 2.56 lakh foreigners had visited Chennai in 2008. The Tirumalai Naicker Mahal was visited by 3.74 lakh local tourists and 30,000 foreigners last year.
This is a good tourist traffic for last year. However, I think for the potential of Chennai - much more can be achieved!

Recent Improvements/Updates to Chennai and proposals to improve Chennai - Azhagiri
Speaking at the foundation stone- laying ceremony of a high learning centre at Central Institute of Plastics Engineering and Technology (CIPET) at Guindy, Chennai - Union Minister Azhagiri said SPIC would be open soon in Tuticorin, near Chennai.
Stating that an advanced tooling and plastics product development centre of CPIET would be started soon in Chennai, Alagiri said steps would be taken to reopen the fertiliser company SPIC within a month.
‘My aim is to make Chennai on a par with Chennai and its suburbs in terms of industrial growth. I will do it at any cost and will ensure that the temple city and its adjoining areas are no inferior to any part of the State. Apart from being the DMK organising secretary for South, I would also like to become the industrial secretary for southern districts,’ he said.
An expert team would soon hold talks with the Chennai district administration on identifying the site for the proposed Rs 48,000-crore aero park, according to the Union Minister for Chemicals and Fertilisers, Mr M.K. Azhagiri.
Stating that the Central Institute of Plastic Engineering Technology would establish its tool design centre near here, he said, “my aim is not only to industrialize Chennai, but all the Southern districts of Tamil Nadu.”
He said Essar Company Ltd would establish a business process outsourcing unit in Chennai, which would generate jobs for about 2,000 people.
