Notably, among these visitors were 13,919 foreigners, reflecting the park's growing international appeal. This surge in tourism not only showcases the park's rich biodiversity, particularly its famed one-horned rhinoceros, but also highlights its increasing prominence on the global tourism map.

A significant contributing factor to Kaziranga's heightened popularity was the high-profile visits by distinguished leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, two Presidents, and the King of Bhutan.

This revenue not only supports the conservation efforts within the park but also contributes to the local economy, fostering sustainable development and livelihood opportunities for surrounding communities.
