The Government has set up Inland Waterways Authority of India to develop inland
waterways.
Inland
water cruises, water taxis will
be encouraged by providing
adequate berthing facilities, tourist amenities, navigation facilities and incentives to
promote the segment. The potential of India’s mighty rivers, especially the Ganges
and the Brahmaputra will be harnessed as a means of transport as well as unique
tourism products offering a complete experience of the local habitat along the rivers.

11.1.
India’s tourist destinations – the key challenges
11.1.1. Lack of infrastructure, interpretation, products and services
The Policy recognizes that India has unique and unparalleled
cultural and natural
heritage. India’s
tourist destinations, however, face a number of challenges. The
experience of tourists at these sites lacks interpretation and world class standards of
tourism infrastructure and services. Most of the destinations are characterized by
ad-hoc and chaotic growth. There is lack of
planning for the destination,
lack of
effective synergies amongst agencies and lack of destination specific branding and
marketing strategies results in poor visitor experience and footfall.
