10/17/25, 9:28 AM New Digital Solutions for Economy & Tourism Growth
Better Governance & Accountability

Policy decisions can be data-driven, monitoring becomes easier, and performance metrics become
visible. Delays and red tape are reduced. Corruption risks shrink when processes are digital and
auditable.

Inclusive Development

Rural and remote areas can connect to central systems. Local entrepreneurs in smaller towns can use
the same tools as those in major cities. Marginalized groups gain better access to services.

Resilience & Adaptation

Digital infrastructure makes it easier to adapt to disruptions—be they economic shocks, climate
events, or pandemics. Remote or virtual delivery of services can continue when physical access is
compromised.

Challenges & How They’re Being Addressed

No transformation is without obstacles. Some anticipated challenges include:

Digital Divide

Not everyone has access to devices or bandwidth. The Ministry is mitigating this by partnering with
telecom providers, offering subsidized connectivity in underserved areas, and setting up digital kiosks
in rural hubs.

Resistance to Change

Some stakeholders may stick to traditional methods. The Ministry counters this with training,
incentives, and gradual rollout phases to let users adapt steadily.

Data Privacy & Security

With massive data flows, ensuring privacy and safeguarding information is vital. The solutions include
encryption, robust cybersecurity protocols, regular audits, and compliance with international
standards.

Interoperability & Legacy Systems

Legacy systems may not easily interface with new platforms. The Ministry is executing phased
migration, integration bridges, and modular architecture so old and new systems coexist smoothly
during transition.

Roadmap & Phases of Implementation

The Ministry has outlined a multi-phase rollout plan:

Phase 1 (Pilot & Testing): Launch in select regions, gather feedback, fix issues, train early
users.
