Tourism and hospitality should be declared priority sector

“We believe that tourism and hospitality, accounting for around 10 per cent of India’s GDP, should be declared a priority sector. Granting infrastructure status to hotels and convention centres with a project cost of Rs 10 crore and above is essential for attracting investments and accelerating growth in the hospitality sector. The current GST rates for hospitality are among the highest globally, making tourism expensive. We urge the abolition of the 18 per cent GST category for hotels with room rates above Rs 7500, merging it with the 12 per cent GST category to boost both domestic and inbound tourism. The ease of doing business is essential. https://www.hotelierindia.com/operations/the-vision-is-to-position-india-as-a-top-global-tourism-destination-welcoming-100-million-foreign-tourists-by-2047
