Suman Billa , Additional Secretary & DG Ministry of Tourism India Film Tourism at 8th Global Conclave Mr. Suman Billa , Additional Secretary and Director General of the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India, at the 8th Global Film Tourism Conclave in Mumbai. The discussion revolves around the growing phenomenon of film tourism and its significant influence on global travel behavior. Mr. Bilah highlights how cinema has become a compelling medium that shapes tourism choices, with an estimated 188 million people worldwide influenced by films and TV shows in their travel plans. India, with its rich geographical diversity—ranging from mountains and beaches to deserts and forests—is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this trend. The Ministry of Tourism is actively working to foster stronger collaboration between the film industry and tourism bodies through policy initiatives, including a model film tourism policy distributed to states and union territories to encourage localized incentives and ease of filming. The government aims to create film tourism circuits and packages in partnership with state governments and film bodies, leveraging successful film destinations like those featured in “Durand” to attract more tourists. Mr. Bilah emphasizes the potential of the film and tourism industries working together to produce outsized benefits for the country by showcasing India’s diverse and captivating locations to the world. 🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more travel insights and destination guides! 🎥 Other Recommended Videos / Playlists https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8lnsQMrJiEetixtqMjk3x_KBL1rECx-M&si=ApOHJW90uvEXdTiF https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8lnsQMrJiEclBq3cl9WKaRq4AmMVArVz&si=hV5dEHG4v4mrfuf3 https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8lnsQMrJiEcGMfdtLwx8U8tNCBcyESy6&si=zQC5cM1qPO62ioXs Travel And Tour World is more than a magazine – it’s a global trade communication platform for the travel and hospitality ecosystem.
