UNESCO has recognized West Bengal as a leading destination for heritage tourism due to the state's significant growth in religious, heritage, and tea tourism. The state has worked on enhancing iconic religious sites like the Dakshineshwar and Kalighat temples, along with developing infrastructure such as homestays and tourist facilities, which have boosted employment opportunities for local youth. These efforts have made West Bengal an important player in India's tourism industry while fostering local economic growth and cultural preservation.
