The budget’s proposals aim to strengthen industry-aligned skilling, research, and leadership development. Infrastructure growth in tier 2–3 cities, the East Coast Tourism Corridor, and importantly focus on medical-value tourism, are expected to boost hotel viability, diversify India’s offerings, and enhance global competitiveness. The Union Budget 2026 places strong emphasis on disciplined capital allocation, infrastructure execution and outcome-based monitoring, all of which are central to the long-term growth of India’s hospitality and tourism sector. A sharper focus on efficient utilisation of public funds, regional development and urban infrastructure planning improves visibility for hospitality investments, particularly in emerging cities and leisure destinations. Collectively, these measures strengthen investor confidence, accelerate destination readiness and enhance India’s competitiveness as a global tourism and events market. (ICE NEW DELHI)
