West Bengal has inaugurated a new coastal hub as part of its tourism development plan, aiming to attract more visitors and support local homestay businesses.
West Bengal has officially opened a new coastal hub as a key element of its broader tourism strategy. The facility, located along the state's shoreline, is designed to streamline visitor access and provide modern amenities for tourists.
Officials say the hub will act as a gateway for travelers, boosting footfall to nearby beach towns and encouraging longer stays. The project also includes a subsidy scheme for homestays, aiming to create income opportunities for local residents.
In addition to the hub, the state has introduced a helicopter service to Digha, offering faster travel for high‑end tourists and further enhancing the region’s appeal.
