Promoting Spiritual Tourism in the Land of Buddha

Summary

India faces the challenge of a low share in the international tourism market, which was further impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly affecting Buddhist spiritual tourism due to poor infrastructure and marketing. The government is addressing this by promoting Buddhist tourism through initiatives like the Swadesh Darshan scheme, focusing on integrated circuit development, infrastructure upgrades, and extensive e-marketing. However, many projects are behind schedule, indicating challenges in implementation and fund management.
