BEST BENGAL. Tourism.
According to GoI data, Bengal recorded the 2nd highest foreign tourist footfall in India. Of these, Top 4 countries where tourists came from: USA, Russia, UK, Italy.
All this despite no direct flights to the US or Europe. Union govt dirty tricks flop
Proud to share that West Bengal has emerged as one of the most favoured international tourist destinations in the country, and has achieved another great milestone!!
In the recently released India Tourism Data Compendium 2025 by Ministry of Tourism, Government of India , West Bengal has attracted 2nd highest foreign tourist footfall in the country!
The tourism resurgence post covid is a reflection of the initiatives taken by us to create and promote new verticals of tourism including festival tourism, religious tourism, MICE ( Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) tourism among others.
I welcome all tourists both domestic and foreign to visit West Bengal, the sweetest part of India, and experience its beauty, culture and heritage.
I thank all tourism stakeholders who have worked relentlessly towards achieving this proud moment for West Bengal.
