Finance Minister Announces Infrastructure Projects for Connectivity, Tourism in Lakshwadeep

New Delhi: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, in her pre-election Budget, which is technically a vote on account and popularly termed an interim Budget, said that the Modi government committed to addressing the fervour for domestic tourism, projects for port connectivity, tourism infrastructure, and amenities on islands. “To address fervour for domestic tourism, projects for port connectivity, tourism infra & amenities will be taken on our islands including Lakshadweep,” FM Sitharaman said.

Developing infrastructure for tourism on islands such as Lakshadweep can significantly boost tourism in India and help with revenue growth. There is a surge in interest in the region from tourists as a result of the strategic infrastructure projects that the Indian government has undertaken.

These projects include upcoming developments like the construction of new airports, luxury resorts, and seaport infrastructure. This surge in tourism can enhance the region’s allure, attract more visitors, and create new job opportunities, ultimately contributing to revenue growth.
