The Federation of Associations in Indian Tourism & Hospitality (FAITH) inaugurated its two-day National Tourism Conclave 2025 in New Delhi under the theme “Indian Tourism: Invincible Spirit.” The event brought together industry leaders, policymakers, and government officials to advance Tourism Vision 2047, a $3 trillion roadmap aimed at achieving 100 million inbound tourists, 20 billion domestic visits, and 200 million tourism-related jobs by India’s centenary year.
In a keynote fireside chat with Shereen Bhan, G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant emphasised tourism’s role as a key engine for “growth with jobs” and as a strategic counter to proposed “Trumpian tariffs” from the U.S. He called for a minimum ₹20,000 crore global Incredible India marketing campaign to target key markets, attract high-value and long-stay travellers, and boost urban rejuvenation.
He urged stakeholders to strengthen tourism brands, enhance hygiene and infrastructure, and hand over hospitality operations to the private sector. He also highlighted MICE tourism as a significant growth opportunity, supported by India’s world-class convention facilities.
