How Many People Visit the Taj Every Year?
My search skills are not as good as I thought them to be! I was trying to find out the number of people visiting the Taj everyday and when I could not find out much, I turned to Indiamike. The super folks there did some search and we now have some numbers. I find the whole thread such a great help.

This UNESCO document, dating from 2003, gives the following figures for visitor numbers:
2000: 1,955,404 Indian; 39,757 overseas; Total: 1,994,161
2001: 1,977,458 Indian; 249,267 overseas; Total: 2,226,725
Unfortunately, this seems to be the most recent UNESCO document relating to the Taj Mahal.
This MSNBC news page quotes figures for 2005:although the number of Indian visitors seems to be way out of line with UNESCO's figures for 2000/2001.Quote:
The ever-popular Taj Mahal received 593,637 international visitors and 364,997 locals over the year.
You could try emailing the Archaeological Survey of India directly, at directorgeneralasi@gmail.com

Interesting figures, but I doubt whether anything will happen after emailing the Archaeological Survey of India directly.
I wonder if you plan to use these figures for further research and/or analyses.
Pijush, thanks for stopping by. I am not even thinking of writing to ASI or maybe just for the heck of it, I should do that :)
Sidhu, nah this data is just the part of the background information.
