Finance Minister’s Tourism Initiatives and Infrastructure Commitment Lauded, but Call for Lenient Tax Policies and Infrastructure Status in Hospitality Sector Remains

Animesh Kumar, Head of Commercials at ibis & ibis Styles India, stated, “It is highly encouraging to see that the Hon’ble Finance Minister has underscored the vital role of tourism in driving our economy and boosting employment and GDP. The enhanced focus on developing tourism corridors at Vishnupad Temple and Mahabodhi Temple, modeled after the successful Kashi Vishwanath Temple initiative, will significantly contribute to tourism growth during the Amrit Kal. Additionally, the government’s support for transforming Nalanda in Bihar into a major tourist destination is a noteworthy step forward. Finance Minister Sitharaman’s announcement of an economic policy framework aimed at ushering in next-generation reforms to drive economic growth further underscores this commitment. The Union Budget’s robust allocation of Rs 11.11 lakh crore for capital expenditure also highlights a strong commitment to infrastructure development.
