Are there differences in tourist flow between regions where casinos are allowed and where they are banned? For example, in India, we see that in Goa and Sikkim casinos are legal, while in most other states gambling is banned. How much of an impact does this have on the number of tourists? Do people come to Goa and Sikkim specifically for the casinos, or is it more of a bonus for vacationers? Perhaps the states where casinos are banned also have other attractive factors that compensate for the lack of a gaming industry. Interested to hear your opinions!

Indeed, the presence of casinos can have a big impact on tourist traffic. For example, Goa is one of the most popular states for vacation in India, not least because of the gambling establishments. Many tourists come not only for the beaches and nightlife, but also for gambling. This is especially true for tourists from neighboring countries and other Indian states, where casinos are banned. In Sikkim, the situation is a little different - there casinos also attract tourists, but the scale of the industry is much more modest than in Goa. If you compare with the regions where casinos are banned, you can see that the tourist flow there is mainly formed at the expense of natural and cultural attractions. For example, Rajasthan attracts guests with its historical monuments, and Kerala - Ayurveda and ecotourism.
