Punjab is set to become a bustling travel hub, with a new strategy underway focusing on eco-tourism, heritage sites, and foreign investment, under the stewardship of Punjab Tourism Minister Anmol Gagan Mann.
In a bid to boost tourism in the wake of the monsoon tragedy in Himachal Pradesh, Punjab is reportedly honing its infrastructure to cater to a wide array of tourism, from religious and spiritual, to sports and adventure tourism. The emphasis, however, appears to be strongly on eco-tourism.
Punjab Tourism Minister Anmol Gagan Mann revealed a new strategy focusing on investment in and promotion of Punjab’s tourism.
he observed, “Punjab has been the land of saints, with a vibrant culture and hospitality. Our religious tourism is already a strong draw, with over one lakh visitors daily.”

Acknowledging the religious significance of Punjab, attributed to Baba Nanak and a daily influx of over one lakh people in Amritsar, the minister disclosed plans for a tourism summit and travel mart from September 11 to 13.
