Preparations for the Mahakumbh to be held in 2025 in Prayagraj, UP are in full swing. 45 to 50 crore domestic and foreign tourists are expected to come here. The tourists coming in crores will provide employment to the local people in large numbers. In view of this, various training programs are being run by the Tourism Department. This will not only increase the income of vendors and service providers, but will also provide direct or indirect employment to more than 45 thousand families. Along with this, new sources of employment will also develop near all the religious tourist places.
New Tourism Policy-2022 has been approved to promote tourism sector in the state. After this, the development of tourism sector has gained momentum. With the new tourism policy, a target has been set to invest Rs 20 thousand crores in the state and provide employment to 10 lakh people.
