New Delhi, India — The World Bank Group is supporting India’s Ministry of Tourism and the state tourism departments of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh on the government’s priority program to develop the Buddhist Circuit, foster tourism-led growth, expand economic opportunities and create jobs for local communities, offer better facilities to pilgrims and help increase tourist traffic five-fold.
IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, worked with a government-constituted multi-stakeholder Buddhist Circuit Steering Committee to develop a five-year roadmap to establish the Buddhist Circuit as a tourist and pilgrimage destination. Titled ‘Investing in the Buddhist Circuit’, the roadmap outlines actions needed to transform Buddhist sites and estimates about US$200 million investment required to improve infrastructure, hotels, facilities, and services of logistics companies and tour operators along the circuit, both through public and private participation.
