新德里是一座典型的放射型城市,城市以姆拉斯广场为中心,城市街道成辐射状、蛛网式地伸向四面八方。宏伟的建筑群大多集中于市中心。政府主要机构集中在市区从总统府到印度门之间绵延几公里的宽阔大道两旁。国会大厦为大圆盘式建筑,四周绕以白色大理石高大圆柱,是典型中亚细亚式的建筑,但屋檐和柱头的雕饰又全部为印度风格。总统府的屋顶是个巨大的半球形结构,鲜明地带有莫卧儿王朝的遗风。
NEW DELHI: The AAP government today invited "innovative" ideas from senior bureaucrats, who have travelled to foreign countries, to make Delhi an international tourist destination and increase the time of stay of tourists by giving them more options to explore the heritage city.
To revive the tourism sector in Delhi, Tourism Minister Kapil Mishra held a brain-storming session with over 30 senior bureaucrats, including all principal secretaries and Head of Departments, at Delhi Secretariat on Wednesday.
Comparing Delhi with other capital cities of Asia and Europe, Mr Mishra highlighted low tourist average stay in Delhi and invited ideas for more tourism avenues.
"The average stay of a tourist in Delhi is very low at 1.2 days as compared to an average of 4.95 days in Bangkok, 2.7 days in Paris and 4.2 days in London. Delhi is at the bottom of the spectrum and we need to increase this number by giving more tourism option."

"There is need to bridge this gap and ensure that tourists don't just use Delhi as a transit city for other locations but enjoy the vast avenues of this modern heritage city has to offer to any traveller of any taste," he said.
According to officials, the officers came up with some out-of-the-box ideas to make Delhi an international tourist destination. They shared experiences and inputs to make Delhi comparable to any metropolis of the world. They gave over 150 ideas related to heritage, tourism, culture, art and languages.
