The share of November and December in 2009 has increased as compared to 2008.

It may be seen from this table that the proportion of FTAs in different age groups has not changed much in the last 7 years. However, the proportion of FTAs aged 55 or above has increased from 11. 5% in 1996 to about 23. 2 % in 2009. As the proportion of FTAs not reporting their ages has varied over the years, therefore comparison of agedistribution of FTAs needs to be done with caution. In 2009, maximum FTAs in India (20. 3 %) were from 35-44 years age group, followed by the age groups of 45-54 years (19. 6%), 25-34 years (17. 9 %). Minimum were in the agegroup of 65 & above years (8. 5%). 17. 9 9. 1 20. 3 19. 6 14. 7 7. 9 8. 2. 0 INDIA TOURISM STATISTICS 2009 31 TABLE 2. 7. 1 FTAs IN INDIA ACCORDING TO AGE- GROUP, 1996 TO 2009 FTAs Year 0-14 15-24 Distribution by Age-Group (in years)* 25-34 35-44 45-54 55-64 65 & above Not Reported 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2287860 2374094 2358629 2481928 2649378 2537282 2384364 2726214 3457477 3918610 4447167 5081504 5282603 5108579 12. 6 9. 9 5. 0 3. 1 3. 9 7. 0 9. 2 7. 2 8. 5 8. 6 9. 6 9. 2 7. 5 9. 1 9. 1 10. 1 16. 8 14. 0 11. 4 10. 8 10. 0 10. 0 9. 8 9. 6 8. 7 8. 6 7. 1 7. 9 21. 7 23. 4 23. 8 23. 4 22. 6 20. 1 19. 4 19. 5 18. 8 18. 8 18. 3 18. 0 15. 2 17. 9 26. 8 26. 26. 0 27. 5 27. 0 21. 1 21. 6 21. 6 21. 3 21. 3 21. 4 21. 0 17. 1 20. 3 18. 3 18. 9 18. 2 20. 8 23. 1 19. 4 19. 4 19. 4 19. 4 19. 5 19. 6 19. 6 16. 1 19. 6 8. 8 8. 2 8. 3 9. 2 9. 9 11. 9 11. 5 11. 5 12. 8 13. 0 13. 5 13. 9 11. 9 14. 7 2. 7 2. 0 1. 9 2. 0 2. 1 6. 7 7. 7 7. 7 8. 2 8. 7 7. 0 7. 5 6. 5 8. 5 0. 6 3. 0 1. 2 3. 1 0. 2 0. 5 1. 9 2. 2 18. 6 2. 0 Source: Bureau of Immigration, India * The percentage total of all age groups in any particular year may not be equal to 100 because of cases of non-reporting.
