Decentralising tourism investment
While Hyderabad dominates Telangana's hotel supply, the 2025–30 policy explicitly supports district-level tourism — heritage restoration in Warangal, rural and farm tourism, and eco-adventure in identified nature destinations. District projects access the same tiered capital and GST framework with enhanced rural packages and conversion charge waivers.
Lower land costs and circuit-development focus can make district resorts and heritage hotels competitive despite smaller absolute incentive values compared to mega Hyderabad projects.
