Every year 27th September is celebrated as World Tourism Day. This year the theme of World Tourism Day is Tourism and Rural Development. Tourism helps rural communities hold onto their unique natural and cultural heritage, supporting conservation projects, including those safeguarding endangered species, lost traditions or flavours. Tourism has proven to be a lifeline for many rural communities. The sector is not just a leading source of employment, particularly for women and youth but it also provides opportunities for territorial cohesion and socio-economic inclusion for even the most remote regions.
Our villages and the people who live there are a true custodians and manifestation of our culture.
As we work towards more sustainable development of our country, developing related hard and soft infrastructure and promoting tourism in rural India is much required.

Ministry of Tourism in collaboration with MyGov invites you to share your views ideas on Rural India- How it can leverage tourism.

Last Date for submission is 31st October, 2020

Encouragement and active support of Government for Village & Cottage industry with special focus on traditional Handicrafts will attract tourists in rural areas. Adivasi Mela in Odisha is a grand success.

To improve rural economy every state road should have local food courts and should be given on daily or monthly rent basis to local people only who must serve local food to the tourist using those roads. We can hsve small small of 5-10 joints at every 20 km so that it can spread to more locals. local should be allowed for fishing in dam near, govt will take responsibility to plant seeds in the dam and provide specific nets. also boating can done by bsracading for security of dam n tourists etc.

Sir, The tourists within India or from other countries are anxious to visit but afraid as they feel unsafe to travel especially rural India. Need a mechanism by which they can online register their arrival departure details once they reach the tourist city , to the police head quarters in the city. Police can monitor their movement frequently on voice chat with them , effective functioning of 112 India app may bring confidence in them. Arrest on crime against tourist should be non bailable .

India is a diverse country, each and every state posses different kinds of religions with different types of culture and traditions. Each state has a unic history. There are many beautiful places which entertain us , those places are considered as good memories of our India. I like to travel to different places . Tourism not only make us happy it also makes us something learn more... Tourism plays an important role in each and everyone's life. Everyone should travel to different places...

our village are the best place for tourism. Rural India is just like a gem which needed polishing. For tourism, first connectivity should be excellent .There should be good facilities like washrooms ,drinking water , internet. Villagers should be given proper behavior training to deal with visitors. Some festivals should be organized like fair haat where villagers can show their skills and talents. Proper advertisement can be placed to make people aware of these events.
