Travel rarely changes overnight. It shifts gently—through better roads, lighter paperwork, faster trains, and the quiet confidence that a journey will be worth the effort. India’s Union Budget 2026 belongs firmly to that category. It doesn’t shout about tourism, but it re-engineers how Indians will plan, afford, and experience travel over the next decade.
Look closely, and you’ll find a Budget that treats travel not as indulgence, but as infrastructure—woven into mobility, employment, wellness, and cultural preservation. For travellers, the impact will be felt in subtler but far more meaningful ways.
