The campaign was conducted globally and received appreciation from industry
observers and travellers alike. Incredible India campaign also came in for criticism
from some quarters. Some observers felt that –
 It would be better to build the necessary tourism infrastructure
before launching marketing campaign.
 Some felt that tourism industry is depended on solving the infrastructure problems
rather than an extravagant communication campaign.
 India was able to attract less tourists not so much because the country was unable to
market itself, but more because of poor connectivity, exorbitant taxes, visa problems,
unsanitary conditions, and shortage of affordable, good quality accommodation.
 Campaign had failed to cover several aspects of India
which would have been attractive to the average tourist.
