"The innovative scheme, announced during Union Budget 2023-24, aims to provide end-to-end tourist experiences by catalysing the development of tourist destinations while also promoting sustainability and ushering competitiveness in the tourism sector.

Modi will also launch the ‘Chalo India Global Diaspora Campaign’ to inspire the Indian diaspora to become ambassadors of the 'Incredible India' initiative and promote tourism to India.&nbsp;

"The campaign is being launched based on the clarion call of the Prime Minister, wherein he requested Indian diaspora members to encourage at least 5 non-Indian friends to travel to India. With more than 3 crore (30 million) overseas Indians, the Indian diaspora can serve as a powerful catalyst for Indian tourism, acting as cultural Ambassadors," the PMO statement added.&nbsp;
