Within the U.S domestically, I've never experienced any rounds of applause. I have noticed that on Asian airliners, passengers typically do applaud the staff for the service.

Let me explain the contention of India as a example:
1) they have enough 5 star hotels and infrastrcuture around Delhi. Transportation is the only concern, which can be improved with some planning. Since they have time they can do that aspect.
2) India is the 5th most aspired tourist destination last year. So, people do want to visit India.
3) India is as secure as or more secure than London or Paris. When games like this are awarded, even hostile neighbours come around.
Example: India and Pakistan hosted two world cups of Cricket previously.
