Telangana unveils Tourism policy, eyes Rs 15,000 cr investments, 3 lakh jobs in 5 years
Telangana Tourism Policy 2025-2030" in the Assembly. The first-ever dedicated tourism policy, after the formation of Telangana, also aims to create additional employment opportunities for three lakh people in the next five years besides enhancing tourism contribution to 10 per cent or higher of the GSDP ( gross state domestic product).
The tourism infrastructure sector is predominantly driven by the private sector and there is a pressing need for the government to provide greater confidence through proactive policy and administrative framework that improves investor confidence, it said.
Through the policy, the state government will be promoting «safe tourism» by creating dedicated tourist police units/tourist patrols across key tourist destinations, implementing women-friendly measures to ensure the safety of female tourists, and leverage Tourism Friendly Index (TFI) to evaluate the safety standards of destinations.
Additionally, CCTV surveillance at all tourist destinations will foster a safer and more welcoming environment for tourists, it said.
Among others, the tourism policy also would focus on creating world-class shopping experiences around the proposed Regional Ring Road (RRR) such as specialized malls for wedding shopping, gold souks (markets), household goods, and furniture and organize a year-round calendar of shopping festivals.
