Budget Quotes from Mr.Rajan Bahadur, CEO of THSC
"The tourism and hospitality sector is at an important stage as India strengthens its position as a global travel destination. The Union Budget offers a key opportunity to support this growth through investments in infrastructure, skill development, and ease of doing business. While work has been done, we expect greater focus on tourism infrastructure, such as last-mile connectivity, destination development, and digital platforms that improve visitor experience. Continued support for skill development is equally important, especially for frontline hospitality roles, women, youth, and gig workers who form the backbone of the sector. As the industry increasingly adopts AI, technology, and platform-based models, the upcoming Union Budget should prioritise skilling and upskilling initiatives that align with changing job roles and industry demand. Greater emphasis on industry-linked training, on-the-job learning, and public–private collaboration will help build a future-ready workforce. With the right budgetary support, the tourism and hospitality sector can significantly contribute to employment generation and balanced regional development."
