The tourism of India has significantly decreased by 57%. This is causing multiple problem in
the economic growth of both companies and the government. About, 49% of tourism
decrease is happening in the city of Gurugram. Therefore, multiple companies and
government agencies are facing issues.
Client Information
Our Client (Mrs. Anushree) is a foreign tourism, (associated with the government) company
who wishes to spread information about tourism in Gurugram as the tourism rates in
Gurugram have dropped significantly . They are facing problems, although, because the
company doesn’t have a lot of information about Gurugram and the company doesn’t have
a good coder. Therefore, they have contacted me to design a website for them.
Problem
The company has noticed a significant drop, which is 49% in the tourism of Gurugram which
they find can be fatal to the economy of Gurugram and they also wish to expand tourism
rates in Gurugram, so, their branch income of Gurugram increases.
Impact
It has potentially delayed all revenue predictions of the company and can cause a lot of
damage to the company’s economical growth. It may shut down some of the company’s
projects, as they are receiving may be reduced funds. It is also causing the company tax
problems, as the area is the country is receiving -6.6% of the total GDP, for which they might
increase the taxes, causing even more problems for the company.
Solutions
A solution for, such an issue is extremely important as it may cause some of the possible
impacts to come true. For such an issue the need for a website is mandatory and should be
used as the creation of a website is going to do work more effective and efficiently, while
being cost effective.
After a discussion with our client we came to a conclusion that a website for effective
information dissemination, as it allows 64.6% of the world's population to access
information globally. This increased awareness and rapid expansion benefit both the
company and the government’s economic crisis. The website will likely include pages for visa
applications, country rules, and closing timings, allowing clients to plan their trips
accordingly. This will help increase awareness and streamline the travel process for all
potential clients. Thus, to summarize, a website will make the information spread faster and
more effectively, which is required for this situation, to divert such a crisis. This is also very
cost-effective to the company as they will not need to run campaigns and will have to make
a permanent investment. We assume that the creation of a website will help draw the
audience by marketing tactics such as creating of high quality content and the marketing of
the website. This will increase the visibility of our planning to make a tourism website.

Conclusion
A magazine typically consists of several essential elements that contribute to its structure,
content, and overall appeal. Here are the key components that a magazine must have:

and represent the magazine's content. It often includes the magazine's title, a
captivating image or artwork, and sometimes highlights of featured articles.
Table of Contents: This section lists the main articles, features, and sections in the
magazine along with their corresponding page numbers. It helps readers navigate the
content easily.
Masthead: The masthead contains important information about the magazine, such
as its title, publication frequency, volume/issue numbers, and sometimes details
about the editorial team or contributors.
Articles: The core of a magazine consists of articles covering various subjects relevant
to the magazine's target audience. Articles can range from news, features,
interviews, opinion pieces, how-to guides, and more.
Images and Illustrations: Magazines often use images, photographs, and illustrations
to visually enhance the content and make it more engaging for readers.
Sections: Magazines are typically organized into sections, each focusing on a specific
topic or theme. For example, a lifestyle magazine might have sections on fashion,
health, travel, and entertainment.
Sidebars and Pull Quotes: These are small, visually distinct sections that highlight key
points or interesting quotes from the main articles. They can break up the text and
draw attention to important information.
Columns: Regular columns written by specific contributors offer consistent
perspectives on particular subjects, creating a sense of continuity and expertise.
Letters to the Editor: This section allows readers to voice their opinions, ask
questions, or provide feedback on previous issues.
Features and Specials: Magazines often include special features or themed sections
that provide in-depth coverage on a specific topic, event, or trend.
Credits: It's important to credit the authors, photographers, illustrators, and anyone
else involved in creating the content.
Subscription Information: Details about how readers can subscribe to the magazine,
renew their subscriptions, or purchase single issues.

service, and any other relevant departments.
