The tourism in Andhra Pradesh makes the state now-a-days not just a mere state of Telugu speaking people. Though the original Telugu culture still exists, it is now a global destination with little distinction between the visitor and the resident.

If we look back to the history of Andhra Pradesh, we find that, starting with a purely Andhra or Telugu culture, the people of the State have over the years imbibed the graces of Persian and Turkish cultures brought in by Muslim rulers. A confluence of such cultures has created an exclusive ‘Deccani’ culture that combines hospitality, grace, appreciation of beauty and a passion to excel.
