Prime minister Narendra Modi on Friday while addressing a post budget
webinar on 'Developing Tourism in Mission Mode' said that out of box
thinking was needed to achieve new heights in the tourism sector.
"We will have to think out of the box and plan ahead to
achieve new heights in tourism. It is not a high fancy word representing
the rich," he said.
"This year's budget focuses on the holistic
development of the destinations. Increase in the facilities has led to a
manifold increase in the arrival of devotees at Kashi Vishwanath, Kedar
Dham and Pavagadh," he added.
Tourism has the same potential in
the country as agriculture, real estate development, infrastructure and
textile, the prime minister said further.
Modi suggested that every tourist destination in the country can develop its own revenue model.
"Our villages are becoming centres of tourism due to their improving infrastructure," the prime minister said.
Modi
informed that eight lakh foreign tourists had come to India in January
this year compared to only two lakh in January last year, adding that
India has a lot to offer to high-spending tourists also.
