India's tourism business is highly established, growing quickly, and heavily centered around the nation's shore, culture, and history. India is one of the politically most stable nations in Asia, which has facilitated the growth of tourism. Tourism in India has witnessed significant growth in recent years, with travellers seeking unique and immersive experiences. In comparison to 10.93 million in 2019, a -44% decline in growth, the Ministry of Tourism reports that around

6.19 million and 1.52 million international visitors visited India in 2022 and 2021, respectively. Furthermore, it is impractical to have multilingual human tour guides everywhere. One of the noteworthy innovations that has gained prominence in this context is the introduction of Interactive tourism kiosks. This work deals with the build of a smart interactive kiosk for tourism. The kiosk offers tourists an enriched experience by providing real-time information, wayfinding assistance, and multimedia content. By enabling travellers to explore India more informed and engaged, these kiosks are contributing to the nation's goal of becoming a top global tourist destination. The Interactive Tourism Kiosk was conceived in response to the evolving needs of modern travellers who seek more than just a passive visit to iconic sites and tourist destinations.
