Tourism Industry Calls for a More Integrated Growth Ecosystem

India’s resort and hospitality industry has called for stronger coordination between governments, tourism businesses, local communities and infrastructure providers. The sector believes destination growth cannot depend only on increasing hotel inventory or attracting more visitors. Better roads, transport, sanitation, safety, digital connectivity, skilled manpower and destination management must develop together. Greater cooperation between public and private stakeholders could also help smaller and emerging destinations attract sustainable investment. For resort operators, an integrated tourism ecosystem would improve visitor experiences while supporting longer stays and higher local spending. The approach is particularly relevant as domestic travellers increasingly explore destinations beyond traditional metropolitan and established leisure markets.
