The tourism industry is looking forward to the Union Budget 2024, hoping for measures that boost growth, streamline GST rates, and enhance infrastructure.
Despite growth, tourism faces challenges like inadequate infrastructure, safety issues, and limited marketing. The sector needs budget support to overcome these.
Expectations include a uniform 12% GST on hotels, tax incentives for sustainable practices, and reduced TCS on foreign travel packages. Will the budget deliver?
Improved roads and airport connectivity can drive tourism growth. Budget allocations could enhance regional airports, linking remote destinations and creating jobs
Initiatives like Swadesh Darshan and Dekho Apna Desh have boosted tourism. The budget might introduce more schemes to promote diverse tourism sectors.
