Telangana government introduces a new tourism policy to attract INR 15000 crore investments and boost tourism’s contribution to the state’s GDP.
The new tourism policy introduced by the Telangana government focuses on developing world-class experiences and enhancing safety to make the state one of the top five tourist destinations in India. It is also worth noting that this policy will help create numerous employment opportunities for the youth.
On Tuesday, the Telangana government proposed “Telangana Tourism Policy 2025-2030” in the state assembly. The first-ever dedicated tourism policy after the formation of the state of Telangana is predicted to provide employment opportunities to around 3 lakh people in the next five years.

The overall tourism infrastructure is dominated primarily by the private sector. That’s why the government needs to introduce a proactive policy and administrative framework which will result in amplifying the investor’s confidence.
Through the policy, the state government will be promoting “safe tourism” by creating dedicated police units/police patrols around key destinations to ensure women’s safety. This will also help in leveraging a positive Tourism Friendly Index (TFI) that can elevate its position as a preferred tourist destination in India. Also, surveillance cameras at tourist destinations will foster a safe environment for tourists. Besides these, the tourism policy will focus on providing world-class shopping experiences to its tourists around the proposed Regional Ring Road (RRR).

Telangana recorded 60.75 million domestic tourist arrivals and 68,400 foreign tourist arrivals in the year 2022. The share in domestic tourism has significantly declined since then. This was the motivation enough for the state government to introduce their first ever Tourism Policy.
