Airport to new resorts, Lakshadweep tourism is in for an upgrade: Details
When Prime Minister Modi requested Indian citizens last week to promote domestic tourist spots such as Lakshadweep, it gave hope to the industry as it gradually recovers from the Covid-19 pandemic shock. Notably, the incident gained significantly larger attention due to the controversy with Maldives.
With prominent public figures and celebrities, including Sachin Tendulkar and Akshay Kumar, now endorsing domestic travel, India’s tourism potential may see further growth. For the time being, as Lakshadweep islands remain at the centre of PM Modi’s appeal and the controversy, the stakeholders have pinned their hopes on India’s smallest Union Territory (UT), which may emerge as a tourist hotspot in the years to come.
