Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged people to visit at least 15 tourist destinations within India by 2022, saying there is a huge scope to improve India’s tourism sector. Addressing the nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort on the 73rd Independence Day, he said India has much to offer and if domestic tourism increases, international footfalls too will increase.
“I know people travel abroad for holidays but can we think of visiting at least 15 tourist destinations across India before 2022, when we mark 75 years of independence.
“There might not be very good hotels, but once we start visiting these places, these destinations will improve,” the prime minister said.
