“The BJP Government shall triple tourist footfall in the state by focussing on 45 new 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.
