Government of Andhra Pradesh has released Tourism Policy 2020-2025, which aims to boost the
tourism sector and enhance tourism investments in the State. The policy has been crafted keeping in
mind the ever-changing nature of tourism, the strengths and advantages of tourism in the state, the

world-class tourism destination with robust infrastructure. The incentives have been tailor-made with
balanced focus on both large-scale investments and small-scale investments.

experiences and develop 11 themes of tourism -- Rural Tourism, Heritage Tourism, Buddhist
Tourism, Eco-Tourism, Beach & Water Tourism, Recreation & Adventure Tourism,
