Tourism body FAITH pushed a Tourism Growth Charter seeking infrastructure/industry status, 50 new destinations, a Brand Bharat campaign, and liberal visas, as WTTC forecasts India's travel sector growing 8.5% to become the world's fourth-largest by 2036, relevant to hospitality operators.
Why this matters
FAITH's charter builds on its earlier push for 100M tourism jobs and $3T contribution by 2047, even as foreign tourist arrivals remain 16% below 2019 levels, underscoring the gap between ambition and recovery.
