India is estimated to contribute USD 250 billion to its GDP from Tourism and create 137 million jobs in the Tourism sector. The tourism industry will also contribute to more than 56 billion USD in Foreign Exchange Earnings, and 25 million foreign arrivals are expected to be achieved by 2030. In FY20, the tourism sector in India accounted for 39 million jobs, which was 8.0% of the total employment in the country.

Time To Look Out For Top Hotel Stocks In India

In line with promoting this industry, the Government launched the ‘Dekho Apna Desh’ campaign back in December 2019 in India. Under this campaign, selected Indian residents were recognized by the Ministry of Tourism for traveling across the industry. In the 2023-24 budget, the Government has decided to promote tourism more actively with the active participation of states, the convergence of government programs, and public-private partnerships. With an integrated and innovative approach, Government has decided to select at least 50 destinations that would be developed as a complete tourism package. In addition aspects like physical connectivity, virtual connectivity, tourist guides, high standards for food streets, and tourist security would be developed. All the relevant aspects would be made available on an App to enhance the tourist experience.
