The Union Ministry of Tourism has promised to develop and implement result-oriented PR strategies for rebuilding the image and position of India in four international markets \u2013 New York, London, Tokyo and Berlin.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Security of foreign tourists in India<\/strong> has been a concern for last few months. The Ministry of Tourism has come up with a two-pronged strategy to mitigate this concern among the visitors from outside of India. Mr. Naik is looking to hold a meeting and collaborate with the ministers of state tourism for the campaign.

He added that the new government would create <strong>50 specific theme-based tourist zones<\/strong> across the country. It is evident from incorporation of tourism among the 5 Ts including Talent, Tradition, Trade and Technology.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to the agenda, the pilgrimage centers of all faiths across the country will be equipped with <strong>advanced infrastructure<\/strong> and <strong>modern amenities<\/strong> for enhanced convenience of pilgrims. A multidimensional infrastructure development program for modernization of railway stations will be implemented in the next 10 years. <strong>High-speed trains<\/strong> will be launched to connect the northeastern states with the rest of India. Moreover, development of <strong>low-cost airports<\/strong> in small towns is among the priorities on the agenda.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tourism centering on the cultural and historic heritage of India will earn the government a huge foreign exchange if foreign tourists can have easy access to monuments and national museums through a precise <strong>electronic ticketing system<\/strong>.
