Financial support would be provided to more than 11,000 registered tourist guides, travel and tourism stakeholders.<\/h2>\n

The government will provide free visas to 5 lakh tourists visiting India, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Monday.<\/p>\n

Announcing measures to revive the tourism sector battered by Covid-19, Ms Sitharaman said financial support would be provided to more than 11,000 registered tourist guides, travel and tourism stakeholders.<\/p>\n

She said once the visa issuance for international travel is restarted, the first five lakh tourists will be issued visas free of charge. The total financial implication of this measure would be \u20b9100 crore.<\/p>\n

The scheme would be applicable till March 31, 2022, or till 5 lakh visas are issued, whichever is earlier.<\/p>\n

This would incentivise short-term tourists visiting India, she said.<\/p>\n

Ms Sitharaman further said that \u20b923,220 crore more will be provided for public health.<\/p>\n
