Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing the commemoration ceremony of the 90th anniversary of the Reserve Bank of India, made a bold prediction about the future of tourism in India. He stated that the tourism sector in India is growing at an unprecedented rate and that the world is increasingly interested in exploring and understanding the country.
“The tourism sector is growing very rapidly in India. The whole world wants to come to India, see India, and understand India,” said PM Modi, emphasizing the global interest in India’s rich cultural heritage and diverse landscapes.
The Prime Minister further highlighted the potential of Ayodhya, a city of immense religious significance, to become a major global destination for religious tourism. “In the coming years, Ayodhya will become the world’s biggest capital in religious tourism,” he predicted.
This statement comes at a time when India is witnessing a surge in both domestic and international tourism. The government has been actively promoting tourism through various initiatives, recognizing its potential to boost the economy and create jobs.
Ayodhya, known for its deep-rooted connections to Hindu mythology and history, has been a significant pilgrimage site for centuries. The city is believed to be the birthplace of Lord Rama, a major deity in Hinduism, and is associated with many events depicted in the epic Ramayana.
PM Modi’s prediction underscores the government’s vision to leverage India’s cultural and religious heritage to attract tourists from around the world. If realized, Ayodhya’s transformation into the world’s biggest capital of religious tourism could mark a new chapter in India’s tourism story.
