UP tourists calculation process

Does anyone knows how UP govt is calculating number of tourists in each city / monument? Recently there was a news that Ayodhya overtook Taj Mahal as top tourist destination. As per that news 13.55 crore visitors visited Ayodhya in 9 months. That averages to about 5 lakh per day. Whereas temple trust had themselves said that 1 to 1.5 lakh pilgrims are visiting Ram Temple daily. Infact visitors were reduced significantly during summers. What’s the trick here?
