Joint Managing Director of MBD Group, Sonica Malhotra Kandhari said, “It is an holistic budget which caters to all segments of the economy primarily education, health & women welfare, infrastructure & agriculture. What is heartening to see is that the government has put a lot of emphasis to boost the tourism sector. Announcement such as development of archaeological sites and world class museums at five identified sites and allocation of Rs 2,500 Crores for tourism promotion will not only further enhance the country’s ranking on the Tourism Competitive Index but will also generate huge employment opportunities and give a big boost to the spread of our rich culture and heritage all across the world. Also, the development of 100 more airports under UDAN scheme by 2024 and construction of 12 more highways will further boost connectivity and provide significant boost to the tourism and hospitality sector.”
