Besides coming out with a no-frill tourism package for youth and domestic tourists, the ministry was also contemplating launching a 'Learn India, Love India' campaign to promote tourism. "The programme may also include promotion of seven tourist spots and make it part of the seven wonders of India package," she said.

She added the sector could be the answer to many problems of the country such as unemployment besides generating a whopping foreign exchange reserve.

She identified lack of service apartments, paying guest accommodation and low-budget hotels as main hurdles in promoting many tourist destinations in the country.

Choudhary also talked about various initiatives to be taken by the ministry including

• introducing tourist police - Emphasising the importance of providing safety to foreign tourists, the minister said the Central government will try to convince state governments to have tourist police near the tourist destinations.
• establishment of souvenir shops,
• local culture festivals,
• facility of cycle renting hubs at tourist places
• heritage walks to create awareness about the spot.
