among Asian and Pacific countries.The Ministry of Tourism designs national
policies for the development and promotion of tourism. In the process, the
Ministry consults and collaborates with other stakeholders in the sector
including various Central Ministries/agencies, state governments, Union
Territories and the representatives of the private sector. Concerted efforts
are being made to promote new forms of tourism such as rural, cruise, medical
and eco-tourism. The
Ministry also maintains the Incredible India campaign.

rich history and its cultural and geographical diversity make its international
tourism appeal large and diverse. It presents heritage and cultural tourism
