Tourism Industry

The Travel and Tourism industry holds remarkable potential for the Indian economy.

Cont

The tourism industry requires a substantial investment and improvements in the infrastructure at all levels whether in cities or country as a whole. The connectivity and quick facilitation from the airports, railway stations and city centres to Central Business Districts (CBDs) is the most critical factors as far as international tourists arrivals are concerned. This means that we must have an all-inclusive infrastructure development plan in place connecting hotels to destinations/ and attractions with reliable and better transport facility, ensuring safety and security, being managed by trained tourist police and volunteers.
