The Uttar Pradesh government aims to increase the number of tourists in the state by fivefold in the coming four years. To make this plan of ₹70,000 crore GVA and 80 crore tourists a reality, the government is revitalising its tourist places. A government spokesperson stated that the state’s transport infrastructure will also be further improved.
Five Times the Growth for UP
The government has been working on improving its transportation sector in the last few years, and various visible results of the same have been witnessed, leading to a footfall of more than 48 crore in Uttar Pradesh last year. Now the government wants to increase the number by five times, targeting a Gross Value Added (GVA) of ₹70,000 crore by 2028. The government also wants to increase its tourist footfall to more than 80 crore visitors.
