India and Japan have resolved to strengthen cooperation in the tourism sector.
Both the tourism ministries have agreed to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to promote bilateral tourism relations. A meeting was held in New Delhi yesterday between Japan’s Senior Vice Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Hiroshi Kajiyama and India’s Minister of State for Tourism, Dr K Chiranjeevi yesterday.
Dr. Chiranjeevi informed his Japanese counterpart about the various measures being taken to improve Golf Tourism and MICE Tourism in India, which may be attractive to Japanese tourists and businessmen.
Chiranjeevi has invited Japan to invest in the low budget hotel sector where India has liberalised the FDI route. Kajiyama said, “The proposal for investments in the budget hotel sector could form a part of the MoU between the two countries.”
Furthermore, Kajiyama said he would like to lead a delegation of businessmen from Japan in the next meeting in which he hoped to conclude the MoU with India.
