Delhi's Art, Culture & Languages, Tourism and Labour Minister Kapil Mishra has called on industry leaders to adopt sustainable practices, including car pooling and hybrid work models, to align with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's energy conservation efforts. Speaking at the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) meeting in New Delhi, Mishra outlined plans to position Delhi as a leading tourism destination through transparent policies and large-scale events. He criticized previous tourism initiatives, citing an RTI that revealed ₹80 crore spent on advertisements for a shopping festival that never occurred. To rectify this, he proposed organizing a permanent shopping festival in collaboration with local businesses.

Additionally, the Minister announced plans for annual events, including literature and music festivals, aimed at attracting both domestic and international tourists. He also introduced a 'viability gap funding' policy to provide financial support to event organizers. Addressing the skill gap in the workforce, Mishra urged a partnership between the state and private sectors to enhance skill development, emphasizing the need for immediate employment opportunities for educated youth. He concluded by highlighting the importance of collective efforts for the rapid transformation of Delhi into a global destination.
