We recommend Private Partnerships fund to be used as a form of financing transportation projects in the public sector:

The following literature is suggesting that how a tourist destination can be analyzed with the help of Butler's Tourism Life Cycle Model. Butler (1980) introduced the concept of the model which clarifies and extends earlier work by, for example, Cristaller (1963), Noronha (1976) and Stansfield (1978). In doing so, Butler clearly links the development cycle of tourism destinations to that of products in the product life cycle model. This is one the best used management framework to know the evolution in a tourism destination as described by Baum (1998), the original Butler's model included:

　　Since the early 1980s, however, private-sector financing of large infrastructure investments has experienced a dramatic revival. And, in recent years, such private funding has increasingly taken the form of project finance. The principal features of such project financings have been the

Policy and planning directly related, despite being completely different types of processes, they both confront the same issues, that being the overall future development of a destination. This essay reflects on policy and planning in the tourism industry. Beginning with the purpose of tourism policy, underlining why policy and planning is important, how it is utilized, and finally the benefits to tourism development.

The Travel and Tourism industry is still one of the largest single businesses in world commerce and its importance is widely recognized. The tourism industry is now one of the largest sectors earning foreign exchange. In the face of many benefits, many countries have started assigning due weight age to the tourism industry in their national development agenda. Tourism is an industry that operates on a massively broad scale: it embraces activities ranging from the smallest sea-side hotel; to air-lines, multi-national hotel chains and major international tour operators. Originally, non-traditional industries such as tourism emerged as a solution to strike a balance between ecology and industry

The DP is a broad-brush development vision for the city. DP is a dynamic document which then is detailed gradually. The DP plans for city level infrastructure facilities. Every state has the provision for preparation of such city level spatial plan laid out under their respective Town Planning Acts which in turn provides for city level facilities and amenities. City level infrastructures are marked and planned at DP level while neighbourhood facilities are carved out at neighbourhood level planning. In GTPUDA-1976 there are provisions for providing neighbourhood level social infrastructure under the TPS mechanism. Town planning scheme is used very effectively and successively across Gujarat. It has proven that TPS mechanism is best tool if it is used at its fullest for generating neighbourhood level social infrastructure. From the case study of AUDA, 132 ft ring road it is found that through TPS mechanism large amount of land can be generated for providing infrastructure which can serve city level facility. At places where such facilities are already available, the land made available from deductions has also been used for generating revenue. In case study of GUDA TPS-19 large scale city level institutional area could be carved out due to larger amount of government land in the particular TPS.

This paper aims to document and analyse the different approaches in overall infrastructure sector performance for these two very different countries from the policy and institutional dimensions. It identifies factors that have worked in China and India. It also identifies some important lessons which could be relevant for future infrastructure development.

To achieve the project aim, various targets were formulated. These allowed a thorough analysis of the financing structures and effects of sources of capital from different platforms, directly and indirectly. These were to:

Public Private Partnership or PPP is a subject being given the increasing attention that it has been receiving in context of the sweeping changes in India's economic policies. We are all aware, along with the dismantling of the license permit raj a greater role is envisaged for the private sector in these new policies. Now it seems that, the private sector is not only to be facilitated in its growth, but there it can be taken on board as a partner by the government in the provision of public services. This of course, is the purpose of PPP. For those of us who have had a long innings in Government, such thinking represents a paradigm shift from the way things were always done.

During the project initiation phase, I can work collaboratively with the project sponsor in the development of project charter and lead up to the formal authorisation of the project/ new phase. From the sponsor’s project SOW (Business need, product scope), Business case etc., I can identify measurable project objectives, high level requirements, risks, summary milestones and budget and approval authorities. The key deliverables in this phase are project charter and stakeholder lists.

The availability of budget, experts, employee’s facilities from the ministry of tourism guarantee operational feasibility for this project. According to (Factors affecting marketing in travel and tourism). “In many cases government-run tourism boards are the sole source of funding for a travel and tourism marketing campaign”.

A lot of hope reside on the upcoming government. Along with the expectations that Modi will change the landscape of the country, there also lies the obvious advantage of a majority government where the government will tend to less fractious and prone to disharmony thus facilitating quick introduction of reforms. This can be seen in the present context where Modi has announced a myriad number of development schemes to address the critical issues of the country. Some of them that are in the news are Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana, Make in India, labour reforms are so on. Even though the efforts are commendable, implementing the schemes to have the intended effect will be a big task in itself. We would like to go through some of these schemes to check whether they are holistic enough or address the underlying problems and the potential roadblocks in their effective implementation.
