Andhra Pradesh Seeks to Establish Itself as a Global Tourism Destination, According to Minister Kandula Durgesh

In a recent address, a representative of the coalition government emphasized the significant milestones achieved over the past two years, particularly in the tourism sector. The government has officially granted industry status to tourism, which is expected to enhance the sectors development and attract further investments.

Additionally, a new Tourism Policy for the period of 2024-2029 has been introduced, aimed at streamlining operations, improving infrastructure, and promoting sustainable practices within the industry. This strategic move has reportedly attracted nearly ₹20,000 crore in investment, indicating strong investor confidence in the regions tourism potential.

The government believes that these initiatives will not only boost economic growth but also create job opportunities and promote local cultures. As part of the policy implementation, efforts will be made to enhance the visitor experience and promote lesser-known destinations, fostering a more diversified tourism landscape.
