We expected more: OTOAI

Riaz Munshi, President, OTOAI, said that this was a fairly disappointing budget in perspective of outbound tourism from India. Looking at the significant growth in number outbound tourists from in last few years, we expected more from the government apart from relief in GST for outbound tourism. One welcome step to cheer for is the announcement to develop 100 more airports and expected rise in the air fleet to 1200 aircraft by 2024. I think, the increased number of airports in the country will give boost to outbound travel and number of flights to more destinations.
