#FirstOpinion
“I am deeply dismayed on the Budget allocation of a mere Rs. 3 crores made to the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India for overseas promotion and marketing in the Union Budget announced by the Hon’ble Finance Minister on 1st February 2025. It is shocking that the budget of Rs 33 cr has been reduced to Rs 3 cr. In fact, the earlier allocated budget of Rs. 33 cr was also miniscule and not enough for overseas promotions and publicity. The Ministry of Tourism, would not be able to participate and set up India Pavilion in any of the International Travel and Tourism Marts, nor would the Ministry be able to do any overseas publicity and conduct any overseas road shows.”
– Rajiv Mehra, President, IATO
