India aims to draw 14m Chinese tourists

India is holding roadshows in China this week in a bid to draw more tourists.

Indian Tourism Minister K.J. Alphons, who spoke at the first promotional event in Beijing on Tuesday, said India hopes that at least 14 million Chinese tourists will visit the country over the course of the next five years. Two more roadshows are being held in Wuhan, Central China's Hubei province, and Shanghai through Saturday.

China leads the global outbound tourism market, with 144 million people traveling abroad annually.
