The '''Ministry of Tourism''', a branch of the [[Government of India]], is the apex body for formulation and administration of the rules, regulations and laws relating to the development and promotion of [[tourism in India]]. It facilitates the Indian department of tourism. The head of the ministry is [[Ministry of Tourism (India)|Minister of Tourism (India)]] held by [[G. Kishan Reddy|Shri G. Kishan Reddy]]. To promote the GDP of the country indirectly and to have friendly relations with them, The [[Government of India]] announced officially a Visa on Arrival status/facility for International Visitors to enter/visit [[India]] from 43 countries including [[United States]], [[Australia]], [[Vietnam]], [[Thailand]], [[Vanuatu]], [[Singapore]], [[Israel]], [[Jordan]], [[Kenya]], [[Russian Federation]], [[Brazil]], [[Finland]], [[Germany]], [[Japan]], [[Myanmar]] on 27 November 2014 and some more countries to follow soon.

[[India]] stole the limelight at the World Tourism Mart 2011 in [[London]] by winning two global awards - World's Leading Destination and World's Leading Tourist Board, [[Incredible India]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ibnlive.in.com/news/incredible-india-wins-world-tourism-awards/200468-3.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111111004450/http://ibnlive.in.com/news/incredible-india-wins-world-tourism-awards/200468-3.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=2011-11-11|title=News18.com: CNN-News18 Breaking News India, Latest News Headlines, Live News Updates|website=News18}}</ref>

== History ==
The potential for tourism in India was first recognized with the setting up of a Tourist Traffic Committee, an ad-hoc body, in 1948, to suggest ways and means to promote tourism in India. Based on its recommendations, a tourist traffic branch was set up the following year, with regional offices in [[Delhi]] and [[Mumbai]], and in 1951, in [[Kolkata]] and [[Chennai]]. A separate department of tourism under the [[Government of India|government]] was first created on 1 March 1958, that was put under the ambit of Ministry of Transport and Communications. It was headed by a Director General in the rank of joint secretary. Simultaneously, Tourism Development Council, an advisory body, was constituted and was chaired by the minister in charge of tourism.<ref name="Seth">{{cite book|last1=Seth|first1=Prem Nath|title=Successful Tourism: Volume I: Fundamentals of Tourism|date=2006|publisher=Sterling Publishers Pvt. Ltd.|isbn=9788120731998|pages=214–217|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=NkgnSKQiOgsC|access-date=8 March 2018}}</ref>

After a fall in the number of tourists entering India in 1961 from the preceding year, the government constituted a committee headed by [[Lakshmi Kant Jha]], then secretary in the Department of Economic Affairs, under the [[Ministry of Finance (India)|Ministry of Finance]], to find and examine the reasons. The committee attributed it to the Chinese aggression in the backdrop of the [[Sino-Indian War]] that year. Subsequently, as per the committee's recommendations, [[Visa policy of India|visa]] norms were liberalized, and the [[India Tourism Development Corporation]] was established in 1966 as a functional agency of the Department of Tourism. Further, Prime Minister [[Indira Gandhi]] convened a conference in October that year, the deliberations of which resulted in the creation of the Ministry of Tourism and Civil Aviation. [[Karan Singh]] was appointed the first minister.<ref name="Seth"/>

Despite his skills as an orator and scholarly knowledge in the [[Sanskrit language]], Singh failed to take tourism on a growing path during the initial years, owing mostly to failure in getting funds for the promotion and infrastructure of tourism. He subsequently persuaded [[Air India]] to get their officers involved in promotion of tourism to India. Region-wise targets for arrivals were given and Air India chiefs were given powers to oversee the working of overseas tourist offices of India; 'Operation Europe' for the said region was later extended to other areas. Air India's failure to take this forward owing to losses in revenue "collision" of "egos of tourist officers" led to slump in growth of tourism. Prime minister [[Rajiv Gandhi]] later took charge of the ministry before quitting in favour of other ministers who, Pran Nath Seth in ''Successful Tourism'' wrote, "felt that the tourism portfolio was a demotion", as Civil Aviation was separated from the ministry. During this time, the Tourism was tied with Commerce Ministry, and later under [[V. P. Singh ministry|V. P. Singh's ministry]], in 1991 with Agriculture,<ref name="SethBhat">{{cite book|last1=Seth|first1=Pran Nath|last2=Bhat|first2=Sushma Seth|title=An Introduction To Travel And Tourism|date=2003|publisher=Sterling Publishers Pvt. Ltd.|isbn=9788120724822|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AcGn-Fmc43sC|page=64|access-date=8 March 2018}}</ref> when it was headed by [[Devi Lal (politician)|Chaudhary Devi Lal]]. It was again tied with Civil Aviation that year, headed by [[Madhavrao Scindia]], before the [[Deve Gowda ministry|Deve Gowda government]] in 1996 attached it with the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs.<ref name="SethBhat"/> Tourism was then combined with culture portfolio when it was headed by [[Jagmohan]]. The latter was separated in 2002 and an independent ministry for tourism has been active since.<ref name="Seth"/>

==Campaigns==

===Incredible India===
{{Main|Incredible India}}
The Ministry of Tourism's joint secretary [[Amitabh Kant]] collaborated with [[Ogilvy & Mather]] to create the Incredible India marketing initiative, aiming to promote India's image as a high-end tourist destination.<ref>{{cite web|title=Incredible India Campaign|url=http://www.incredibleindiacampaign.com/|access-date=6 January 2018}}</ref>

Incredible India 2.0 was launched on September 27, 2017 by President [[Ram Nath Kovind]], on the occasion of [[World Tourism Day]].<ref>{{cite news|title=President launches Incredible India 2.0 Campaign; 'Adopt a Heritage' Project|url=http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/news/variety/president-launches-incredible-india-20-campaign-adopt-a-heritage-project/article9876374.ece|work=The Hindu: Business Line|date=27 Sep 2017}}</ref>

===Cleanliness Index===
Union Tourism Ministry is planning to introduce "Cleanliness Index" for all cities in [[India]]. This index will declare the best performers which will motivate other cities to work on this aspect of their appeal. The methodology has been already formulated and will be implemented in 6 cities on a pilot basis.<ref>[http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/cleanliness-index-soon-to-rank-cities/article6428178.ece. Retrieved from 'The Hindu' on 20 September 2014]</ref>

=== Tourism campaign at ITB Berlin ===
In 2011, Indian tourism department had launched a major tourism campaign at the ITB Berlin (the world's largest travel trade show) under the guidance of Mr Sanjay Kothari and [[Aanand Kumar ( IAS)|Mr Anand Kumar]] and Mr M.N. Javed.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/economy/India-launches-tourism-campaign-at-ITB-Berlin/article20107965.ece|title=India launches tourism campaign at ITB Berlin|last=PTI|website=@businessline|language=en|access-date=2019-06-23}}</ref>

==Institutions==
A number of educational institutions related to tourism and hospitality are governed by Ministry of Tourism. This include the [[Institute of Hotel Management|Institutes of Hotel Management, Catering Technology and Applied Nutrition]] (IHMCTAN); e.g., [[Institute of Hotel Management, Delhi|IHM Delhi]], [[IHM Kolkata]], [[IHM Mumbai]], [[Institute of Hotel Management Catering Technology & Applied Nutrition, Bathinda|IHM Bathinda]], [[Institute of Hotel Management, Hajipur|IHM Hajipur]]) etc along with [[Indian Institute of Tourism and Travel Management]] (IITTM). In 2016, a few of the IHMCTANs (Ahmedabad, Bhopal, [[IHM Jaipur|Jaipur]]) driven by inputs from the Ministry of Tourism, started giving a hotel management student the option to choose only vegetarian cooking. Earlier, it was compulsory for all [[Institute of Hotel Management|IHMCTAN]] students to learn non-vegetarian cooking. This decision to offer a vegetarian option by [[Institute of Hotel Management|IHMCTANs]] could possibly be the first amongst any of the hospitality training institutes of the world.<ref>{{cite web |title=IHMs to offer 3-yr course in vegetarian cuisine |url=http://epaperbeta.timesofindia.com/Article.aspx?eid=31808&articlexml=IHMs-to-offer-3-yr-course-in-vegetarian-11072016013026 |newspaper=[[The Times of India]] |author=Dhawan, Himanshi |date=July 11, 2016|access-date=30 August 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Vegetarian Cooking Courses to be Introduced in Hotel Management Institutes |publisher= [[City of Jaipur]]|url=http://www.cityofjaipur.com/news/2016/07/13/vegetarian-cooking-courses-to-be-introduced-in-hotel-management-institutes/ |date=July 13, 2016|access-date=30 August 2016}}</ref>
