Some handy tourism stats - entry count at Hampi etc

Its generally pretty hard to get stats on domestic tourism. The subject needs to be of high interest to us as many believe that domestic tourism is one of the things that can help close the urban rural, or big city-hinterland gap. And we are talking Karnataka, with solid tourism potential, and huge base of Bangalore to tap into.

Anyway, found these numbers in a PIB release from ministry of Culture. Provides stats on tickets sold at centrally protected ticketed monuments, for last 3 years. It has these numbers for Karnataka:

After seeing a number repeated for Keshava Temple and Tippu Palace (copy paste error from PIB staff?), not sure if one can rely on these stats. But for whatever it is worth, I didn't know that Daria Daulat Bagh sees more domestic tourists than even Hampi. And, that the numbers took a big dip between 2008-2009 to 2009-2010.

Would it be possible to get similar numbers for top 10-15 tourism spots maintained by State of Karnataka. Are they seeing more arrivals, or less? How much money are they spending to maintain the top-20 spots in the state? Need 2-3 helping hands to develop this into a project, a data gathering project of sorts first, and then may be some pressuring and questioning of tourism ministry :)
