Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, India’s Minister of Culture and Tourism, is quite optimistic about the future of the tourism sector. He believes it will evolve into a three trillion-dollar industry by 2047. This vision is part of the government’s plan to make tourism and hospitality key drivers of India’s economy.
Shekhawat’s strategy focuses on sustainable tourism, digitalisation, skills development, and destination management. He also emphasises the importance of green tourism, with initiatives like the Travel for LiFE program, which promotes environmental sustainability through tourism.
The minister is confident that India’s tourism sector will continue to grow, driven by the increasing aspirations of the middle class and the government’s efforts to improve infrastructure and promote niche tourism areas like adventure, wedding, and wildlife tourism.
