Chennai is undoubtedly one great tourist destination in the Indian sub continent. The flourishing tourism industry is revealed by a great number of private and government tourist offices located in the city or providing the services in the city. The private agencies as in most of the cities out number the state agencies. But they (government tourist offices) are more reliable than the private enterprises.
