Tourism-Led Growth Strategies

Subject: Economics

Book: Comprehensive Indian Economy - Additional Topics

Tourism fosters foreign exchange, encourages cultural exchange, and creates jobs from urban centers to rural homestays. Government measures—like e-visa, dedicated circuits (Ramayana, Buddha)—seek to brand India’s heritage globally. Infrastructure gaps (connectivity, hygiene) hinder potential. For exam preparation, highlight sub-sectors (eco-tourism, medical tourism) and the multiplier effect on allied industries (transport, handicrafts). Policies must balance visitor inflow with environmental and heritage preservation, ensuring sustainable local benefits.
