The travel and tourism industry is abuzz with optimism following the appointment of Suman Billa as the new Director General of Tourism, Government of India. Industry stakeholders have expressed their delight, citing Billa’s visionary leadership and impressive track record in the tourism sector.
Suman Billa, a seasoned bureaucrat with deep expertise in tourism development and policy, takes over the reins from Mugdha Sinha, who has now been appointed as the Managing Director of India Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC). Her tenure as DG-Tourism was marked by several notable initiatives aimed at boosting India’s global tourism appeal, and her move to ITDC is being seen as a strategic advantage for the corporation.
Industry leaders believe that with Suman Billa at the helm of DG Tourism and Mugdha Sinha leading ITDC, Indian tourism is poised for a new wave of innovation and growth. Both appointments are being hailed as positive steps toward strengthening India’s position as a premier travel destination on the global stage.
