100 percent foreign fund in tourism infrastructure urged Sun, 12/04/2009 - 15:09 by Salinder Kumar New Delhi, April 12: With merely 18 months left for the 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games, India needs to allow 100 percent foreign investment in tourism infrastructure projects to boost tourism, says an industry lobby. According to the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), 100 percent foreign investment in developing tourism infrastructure in India will give a major boost to this sector. Delhi alone needs 30,000 rooms to cope up for the 2010 Games. FICCI said the need of the hour was to "invest in the tourism infrastructure, identify hotel sites to be given on long-term leasehold basis, and develop guidelines to ease land prices so that more hotel rooms are available in India, especially in the budget category".

The vote in the House of Representatives was 233-196, largely along party lines, and came after weeks of polarising debate that exposed deep differences between majority Democrats and opposition Republicans over how to resuscitate the US economy. The Senate voted 55 to 43 on a slightly different version of the 2010 budget proposal, which will require lawmakers from both chambers to forge a compromise in the coming weeks. Senate majority leader Harry Reid said that the "responsible" budget "will start cleaning up the mistakes of the past and make critical investments in our future". Comments Read more
