Triple tourist footfall through 45 hotspots

The promise was to triple tourist footfall by focusing on 45 new hotspots. Uttarakhand tourism footfall has grown and TOI reported a record 6.03 crore visitors in 2025, but Ministry of Tourism data shows Uttarakhand was not India's top domestic tourism state and the record does not prove a tripling against a normal post-2022 baseline. I also did not find approved-source evidence identifying or completing 45 new hotspot locations. The verdict is partial because tourism growth and destination-development policy are visible, but the quantified outcome and 45-hotspot architecture are not verified. Budget status: related tourism policy incentives exist, but no promise-specific allocation for 45 hotspots found.
