Widespread disappointment with India tourism budget
February 2, 2021
There is widespread disappointment in the travel and hospitality industry which was expecting relief from the India tourism budget presented in Parliament by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitaraman. Leaders cutting across the many associations have pointed out that once again an opportunity has been lost to revitalize the sector, which does much for the economy by way of jobs and GDP.
Rajendera Kumar, past president of FHRAI and Director of The Ambassador, regretted that still an elitist view of the hospitality industry has taken shape. He noted that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the hotels had not sacked staff and continued to help the economy. Kumar said that the budget was an ideal opportunity to help tourism get back on its feet but this was lost.
