“We welcome the government’s initiatives to develop new adventure trail sites across states, the focus on upskilling tourist guides, the use of AI for enhancing tourist destinations, and the reduction of TCS on overseas travel. These are progressive steps for the sector. However, we were expecting a clear budgetary allocation for international tourism promotion, which appears to have been missed. Strengthening India’s visibility in global markets and measures for soft branding are critical to accelerating inbound tourism.
Additionally, measures around improved air connectivity, ease of e-visa access, rationalisation of GST for tourism services, and a single-window approach for tourism infrastructure projects would have further strengthened the growth momentum. A focused push in these areas can significantly enhance India’s competitiveness as a global tourism destination.”
