India Welcomes Near 10 Crore Foreign Tourists: Shekhawat

Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat revealed in a written reply to the Rajya Sabha on August 7, 2025, that India received a remarkable 99,51,722 foreign tourist arrivals. This signifies a substantial boost to the nation’s tourism sector.

The impressive figure underscores the growing appeal of India as a global tourist destination. This positive trend reflects successful government initiatives to promote tourism and improve infrastructure.

This surge in foreign tourist arrivals promises significant economic benefits, creating jobs and boosting revenue across various sectors. The government’s continued focus on sustainable tourism will be crucial in capitalising on this momentum. The positive impact on local economies, particularly in areas heavily reliant on tourism, is expected to be considerable.
