- EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE

India's tourism sector is set for a significant boost in 2025, with the Union Budget allocating ₹20,000 crore for the Integrated Development of Tourism Circuits. This investment is primarily directed towards Swadesh Darshan 2.0, a revamped version of the existing scheme aimed at enhancing theme-based tourist circuits across the country.

The focus is on sustainable and responsible tourism, ensuring that destinations are developed with an eco-conscious approach while preserving their cultural heritage. The Swadesh Darshan scheme, launched in 2014-15, was designed to develop theme-based tourist circuits such as Buddhist, Himalayan, Desert, Tribal and Coastal circuits.
