In India tourism rate "has gone down" or "fallen down" by "a huge percentage" or "seventy five percent".

In India tourist vists have gone down by "half" or "quarter" or "seventy five percent".

Please check.
 
In India, tourist numbers have fallen by 75 percent.
 
I already corrected them. I gave you the grammatical and natural form.
 
In India, tourism rate has fallen down by a huge percentage.

In India, tourist vists have fallen by "half" or "quarter".

Are these correct?
 
We don't really use those terms, at least in BrE. We do use tourist numbers.
 
Are you suggesting that the newspaper is right and Tdol is wrong?

In India, the tourism rate has fallen by a huge percentage. Insert "the" and remove "down". If something has fallen, it's pretty obvious what direction it's gone.
The second one is a bit confusing because of the quotation marks, implying it's one or the other, even though they're different meanings? For the same reason the sentence is a bit strange, but in a certain context it could be correct provided it's "... fallen by a half or a quarter."

No, I was just telling you that where I got this content from.

See above. You can say either:

I was just telling you where I got this content from.
or
I was just telling you that that was where I got this content from.
 
I read it in the newspaper.

You will find mistakes in many online newspapers- they publish at speed and often make mistakes.
