India is navigating its way towards becoming a top player in the global cruise tourism industry, according to Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal. With policies designed to enhance modernisation and port-led connectivity, along with coastal community development, the nation aims for a robust maritime presence.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's emphasis on strengthening maritime linkages through initiatives like the 'Act East Policy' has been pivotal. The minister highlighted the public-private partnerships and ongoing projects that aim to create more jobs and boost economic growth via the cruise tourism sector.
