Tourism biggest beneficiary of infra growth: Tourism minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat

Infrastructure development has greatly benefited India's tourism sector. Travel times have reduced significantly due to improvements in railways, roadways, waterways, and aviation. This has led to a surge in visitor numbers at spiritual and other destinations. Hospitality chains are expanding rapidly. The government aims to increase tourism's contribution to GDP to 10% by 2047.
