Indian tourism needs better marketing and infrastructure, Union Tourism Minister Chiranjeevi said today.

"We have many opportunities for the growth of tourism. All it needs is promotion and provision of facilities for foreign tourists," he told reporters here.

He said foreigners prefer to visit ancient monuments and historical places, but unfortunately, transport and accommodation facilities at these facilities are poor.

Public Private Partnership (PPP) is the only option for development of tourism and hospitality business, Union Minister of State for Tourism K. Chiranjeevi has said.

Addressing a press conference here on Wednesday Mr. Chiranjeevi, who holds independent charge of the Ministry, said Public Private Partnership was the only way because hospitality institutions run by the government do not work and cited the Ashoka Hotels as an example.

Chiranjeevi said he would take initiatives to promote the Buddhist circuit in Andhra Pradesh to attract tourists from East Asia and South East Asian countries.
