Siddique Islam – AHN Correspondent Manila, Philippines (AHN) – The Asian Development Bank (ADB) will provide $57.5 million financial assistance to develop tourism industries in Bangladesh, India and Nepal. The ADB Board of Directors on Monday approved a total of $57.5 million in grants and loans for the South Asia Tourism Infrastructure Development Project, which will develop and improve infrastructure and services for key tourism sites in the three countries. “It will also help increase the capacity of sector agencies to sustainably manage and protect sites, and will target increased involvement by local communities in tourism,” the ADB said in a press statement. The Manila-based multilateral agency said tourism plays an important role in the regional economy and this project will benefit around 2.4 million people through increased income and employment, health and environmental improvements, and reduced travel time. Out of the $57.5 million aid package, the ADB will disburse $20 million loan to India, $12.75 million loan and $12.75 million grant to Nepal and a $12 million loan to Bangladesh to implement the project by September 2014.
