National Tourism Policy 2015
The Union Ministry of Tourism released the
Draft National Tourism Policy 2015 after re-visiting National Tourism Policy
2002. The policy is aimed at boosting tourism sector in the country. Its
objective is to increase India’s share in world tourist arrivals from the
present 0.68% to 1% by 2020 and increase to 2% by 2025 and position tourism as
a priority on the National political and economic agenda.
Key
Features of the Draft National Tourism Policy 2015
•
It enshrines the vision of developing and positioning India as a MUST
EXPERIENCE and MUST RE-VISIT destination encompassing the aspects of Swachhta
(cleanliness), Suraksha (safety) and Swagat (welcome).
•
It seeks to evolve a framework for tourism development, which is
Government-led, private sector driven and community welfare oriented.
•
Its focus is on Employment Generation and Community Participation in the
development of tourism industry in a sustainable manner.
•
The emphasis of the policy will be on skill development across all segments
including setting up of a dedicated university for tourism and hospitality
education and deployment of technology in promotion of tourism.
•
National Tourism Advisory Board (NTAB) will be set up under chairmanship of
Union Tourism Minister and having tourism ministers of States / Union
Territories (UTs) and domain experts as its members to monitor the implementation
of the policy.
•
National Tourism Authority will be established with representation from the
trade and industry and interconnected departments or agencies to execute the
policy.
•
Core infrastructure (airways, railways, roadways, waterways, etc.) as well as
Tourism Infrastructure (Swadesh Darshan, PRASAD, Buddhist Circuit, etc) will be
developed.
•
Focus on domestic tourism as a major driver of tourism growth and on
development and promotion of the North East Region and the state of Jammu &
Kashmir.
•
To attract foreign tourists the government will play a more pro-active and
decisive role at multilateral tourism fora such as the South Asian Association
for Regional Cooperation (SAARC), the Association of Southeast Asian Nations
(ASEAN), India-Brazil-South Africa (IBSA) and Brazil, Russia, India, China and
South Africa (BRICS) on themes that link the countries such as the Buddhist
Circuit, Ramayana Circuit, Himalayan Circuit, Heritage Circuit, etc.
