Since many studies on the impact of tourism on Indian culture have been conducted, there has been no research on visitors, particularly in Andhra Pradesh. Srikakulam and Visakhapatnam districts were chosen for this reason, and visitors in these districts were used as responders to express their opinions on the subject. Priority based rank analysis and perceptive score difference analysis among distinct demographic groups respondents are examined during the data perceptive analysis procedure. As a result, it is concluded that middle-aged visitors (20-40 years) and government employees in the Visakhapatnam district have a substantially stronger impact on Indian culture than other groups.
