The Ministry of Tourism is in the process of formulating a National Tourism Policy 2015 for development and promotion of tourism in the country. A draft Policy, based on inputs / suggestions received from stakeholders, eminent personalities and experts in the field of Tourism, State Governments and Union Territory Administrations has been uploaded on the official websites of the Ministry of Tourism, www.incredibleindia.org and www.tourism.gov.in for inviting comments / suggestions from general public. Rounds of consultations were held with overseas tour operators, stakeholders, State Governments and Union Territory Administrations, and experts and veterans in the field of Tourism. A concrete ‘Action Plan’ forms a part of the Policy. The Ministry has focussed on Employment Generation and Community Participation in tourism development, besides laying stress on development of tourism in a sustainable and responsible manner. The Policy enshrines the vision of developing and position India as a “Must Experience” and “Must Re-visit” destination. The draft also suggests setting up of ‘National Tourism Advisory Board’ under chairmanship of Union Tourism Minister, with Tourism Ministers of States / UTs and domain experts as members. Development of core infrastructure (airways, railways, roadways, waterways, etc.) as well as Tourism Infrastructure (Swadesh Darshan, PRASAD, Buddhist Circuit, etc) is also part of the draft Policy.
