===Tourism===
Due to its history, central position and status as the nation's capital, Delhi is a common destination for tourists. Some common tourist attractions include the [[Red Fort]], [[Qutb Minar]], [[India Gate]], [[Jama Masjid, Delhi|Jama Masjid]], [[Humayun's Tomb]], [[Lotus Temple]], [[Akshardham (Delhi)|Akshardham]] and the [[Rashtrapati Bhavan]]. Delhi's tourism sector makes up 5.6% of its GDP and the Delhi government considers it to be "high growth industry."<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://delhi.gov.in/wps/wcm/connect/doit_tourism/Tourism/Home/Infrastructure/|title=Tourism Infrastructure|website=delhi.gov.in}}</ref> 62% of tourists and [[Non-resident Indian and person of Indian origin|NRIs]] visiting India come to Delhi.<ref name=":0" />

The largest source of foreign tourists visiting the city was the [[United States]], which accounted for 11% of foreign tourist visits to the city.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.wttc.org/-/media/files/reports/economic-impact-research/cities-2017/delhi2017.pdf|title=CITY TRAVEL & TOURISM IMPACT 2017 Delhi|publisher=[[World Travel and Tourism Council]]|access-date=19 March 2018|archive-date=24 March 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180324041344/https://www.wttc.org/-/media/files/reports/economic-impact-research/cities-2017/delhi2017.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref>

=== Real Estate ===
The real estate sector has been another growing industry within the [[National Capital Region (India)|NCR]]. It boomed in the 2000s and many Indians, induced by the soaring property prices, decided to invest in real estate, especially in the growing satellite cities of [[Gurgaon]], [[Noida]] and [[Greater Noida]].<ref name=":1">{{Cite news|url=https://www.livemint.com/Opinion/rCjE2PwlLlh2W4EZ62OBlI/Realty-Bites.html|title=Realty Bites|last=Sukumar|first=R.|date=2015-07-31|work=livemint.com|access-date=2018-10-04}}</ref> At the real estate market's peak between 2001 and 2007, one could expect 20-30% annual returns or double their investment in about 3–5 years.<ref name=":2">{{Cite news|url=https://www.livemint.com/Money/HcRE0hFQWpyXtduV2Y9wJI/2018-the-year-real-estate-died.html|title=2018, the year real estate died|last=Sharma|first=Ashwini Kumar|date=2018-07-05|work=livemint.com|access-date=2018-10-04}}</ref> By 2013 however, demand for real estate began to decline, reaching an all-time low in 2016.<ref name=":2" /> With sales plummeting and real estate firms ridden with debt, developers such as [[Unitech Group|Unitech]], [[Jaypee Group|Jaypee Infratech Ltd.]] and the Amrapali Group have slowed progress on their development projects since they lacked the necessary working capital.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" />
[[File:City_of_Greater_Noida.jpg|thumb|[[Greater Noida]], one of Delhi's satellite cities]]
In response to the crisis, the [[Parliament of India]] passed the [[Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016]] to protect home-buyers and the real estate industry.<ref name=":3">{{Cite news|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/what-is/what-is-rera-and-how-will-it-help-homebuyers-4635705/|title=What is the Real Estate Regulation Act (RERA)?

One of the stated aims of such an action was to curtail the widespread use of [[Indian black money|black money]] in real estate transactions.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/live-pm-narendra-modi-addresses-nation-350943-2016-11-08|title=Here is what PM Modi said about the new Rs 500, Rs 2000 notes and black money|website=India Today|language=en|access-date=2018-10-04}}</ref>

Greater compliance and transparency following the establishment of the RERA has had a stabilizing effect on the real estate market. Although the RERA has made it harder for new projects to launch, curtailing the supply-side of the real estate industry, demand has been increasing.<ref name=":4" /> For now, except for Gurgaon which is experiencing marginal real estate growth, home values in the Delhi [[National Capital Region (India)|NCR]] region remain stable.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/wealth/real-estate/home-prices-largely-steady-in-delhi-ncr-during-april-june-report/articleshow/65244917.cms|title=Home prices largely steady in Delhi-NCR during April–June: Report|date=2018-08-02|work=The Economic Times|access-date=2018-10-04|archive-date=1 November 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181101055210/https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/wealth/real-estate/home-prices-largely-steady-in-delhi-ncr-during-april-june-report/articleshow/65244917.cms|url-status=dead}}</ref>
