- (a): The estimated foreign exchange earnings (FEEs) through tourism in India during 2015, 2016 and 2017 were Rs.134844 crore, Rs.154146 crore and Rs.177874 crore, respectively. Ministry of Tourism does not compile the information on revenue generated by tourism in the country.
- (b)  to  (d):  Development  and  promotion  of  tourist  destinations  including identification of places of tourist interest is primarily the responsibility of State Governments/ Union Territory (UT) Administrations. However, Ministry  of  Tourism  provides  Central  Financial  Assistance  under  its  two flagship schemes namely 'Swadesh Darshan (SD)' and 'National Mission on Pilgrimage Rejuvenation and Spiritual, Heritage Augmentation Drive (PRASHAD)'  for  the  development  of  tourism  related  infrastructure  and facilities to promote tourism in the country.

Submission of projects by the State Governments/ Union Territories under  the  schemes  is  a  continuous  process.  The  projects  under  the schemes  are  identified  for  development  in  consultation  with  the  State Governments/ UT Administrations and are sanctioned subject to availability  of  funds,  submission  of  suitable  detailed  project  reports, adherence to scheme guidelines and utilization of funds released earlier.

The details of projects sanctioned to States / UTs including Gujarat under SD and PRASHAD schemes are given at Annexure - I and Annexure - II respectively.

- (e): The Ministry of Tourism, Government of India, as part of its on-going activities,  releases  media  campaigns  in  the  print,  electronic,  online  and outdoor  media  in  the  international  and  domestic  markets  to  promote various tourism destinations and products of the country. The expenditure on  campaigns  released  in  the  international  and  domestic  markets  is incurred from funds allocated under the heads of 'Restructured Overseas Promotion  and  Publicity  including  Marketing  Development  Assistance (OPMD)'  and  'Domestic  Promotion  and  Publicity  including  Hospitality (DPPH)' respectively.

The Budget Estimate (BE) allocated for creation of tourism infrastructure  and  promotion  of  tourism  to  different  schemes  of  the Ministry during the last three years are as below:
