The government has taken a number of initiatives, including the proposed open sky policy with SAARC countries, in order to make tourism affordable and accessible for international fliers, Union Civil Aviation minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju said on Thursday.
Speaking at the three-day Incredible India Tourism Investors Summit, which began here on Wednesday, Raju said the new civil aviation policy takes an integrated approach to ensure air connectivity across regions and states.
“The government has taken a number of initiatives to make tourism affordable and accessible to international travellers,” he said, adding, “We are working towards an open sky policy with SAARC.”
To boost the aviation sector, which has a high growth potential, the government has come out with the new civil aviation policy that seeks to revive unserved and under-served airports.
