India has to focus more on setting up of budget hotels and creation of new destinations along with an 'inclusive' tourism policy to give a boost to its sluggish tourism business, tourism experts said Monday.
"One of the major constraints is hotel room availability which is not even half to meet such burgeoning demand," S.K. Ghosh, chairman of the Industrial India Trade Fair Committee, said at the business meet on tourism at the 25th Industrial India Trade Fair here.
The 10-day fair was inaugurated in the city Nov 2. Although India has one of the most potential tourism market, but its share in world tourism has never gone beyond a meagre 0.7 percent at any point of time, experts pointed out.
Hotel room availability is scarce in the budget category that cater to the ever expanding category of middle class travellers, according to Ghosh.
