They will not reject you application just because you do not know anyone there and cannot get an invitation letter. The whole idea is that they want to make sure that if you know someone there, they want to know about it. It helps if you are a genuine traveler or you have some other motive like getting in the country for immigration reasons or other unlawful activity. Its always good to be truthful and declare if you know someone. BOTTOM LINE: If you have a return/onward journey ticket, have a job/business in your parent country (they may ask for letter from employer), hotel reservation etc .. reflects your intention to be a genuine tourist. They may in cases ask for your bank statement. Also call their nearest visa center to clarify if you want.
