STATEMENT  IN  REPLY  TO  PARTS  (a)  TO  (e)  OF  LOK  SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO.*323 ANSWERED ON 19.03.2018 REGARDING DEVELOPMENT AND PROMOTION OF TOURISM.

(a) to (e): The  Ministry  under  its  schemes  of  Swadesh  DarshanIntegrated development of theme based tourist circuits and PRASHADNational Mission on Pilgrimage Rejuvenation and Spiritual,  Heritage  Augmentation  Drive  provides  Central  Financial Assistance  to  the  State  Governments/UT  Administrations/Central Agencies  for  development  of  tourism  infrastructure  at  selected sites/circuits in the country.

Under  Swadesh  Darshan  Scheme,  fifteen  thematic  circuits have  been  identified  for  development,  namely,  North  East  Circuit, Buddhist Circuit, Himalayan Circuit, Coastal Circuit, Krishna Circuit, Desert  Circuit,  Tribal  Circuit,  Eco  Circuit,  Wildlife  Circuit,  Rural circuit,  Spiritual  Circuit,  Ramayana  Circuit,  Heritage  Circuit,  Sufi Circuit and Tirthankar Circuit.

Under the PRASHAD Scheme, 25 sites have been identified for development,  namely,  Amaravati,  Srisailam  and  Tirupati  (Andhra Pradesh), Kamakhya (Assam), Patna and Gaya (Bihar), Dwarka and Somnath  (Gujarat), Hazratbal and Katra (Jammu  &  Kashmir), Deogarh  (Jharkhand),  Guruvayoor  (Kerala),  Omkareshwar  (Madhya Pradesh),  Trimbakeshwar  (Maharashtra),  Puri  (Odisha),  Amritsar (Punjab),  Ajmer  (Rajasthan),  Kanchipuram  and  Vellankani  (Tamil Nadu),  Varanasi,  Ayodhya  and  Mathura  (Uttar  Pradesh),  Badrinath and Kedarnath (Uttarakhand) and Belur (West Bengal).

The  submission  of  proposals  by  the State  Governments/UT Administrations under above schemes is a continuous process. The projects are sanctioned subject to availability of funds, submission of suitable detailed project reports, adherence to scheme guidelines and  utilization of  funds  released  earlier.  The  central  financial assistance  is  provided  for  development  of  public  infrastructure which in turn aims to boost direct as well as indirect investment in tourism sector in that region. The State/UT-wise details of projects sanctioned under the above schemes during last three years and the current year are annexed.

Sustainability and preservation of art, culture and heritage at the  destinations  is  one  of  the  prime  criteria  while  sanctioning  of projects under above schemes. Financial Assistance is provided for development of components like Thematic Tourist Villages, Amphitheatre, Craft Haat, Souvenir Shops, Exhibition Halls, Cafeteria,  Food  Courts  etc.  to  showcase  the  local  culture  and heritage.

The Ministry undertakes several promotional activities in the domestic  and  international  markets  for  promotion  of  the  varied tourism  products  and  destinations  of  the  country.  The  Ministry produces  publicity  material  and  collaterals  in  English  and  foreign languages for domestic and international markets; media campaigns in  the  print  and  electronic  media  are  undertaken  in  the  domestic and international markets; familiarisation tours for trade, media and opinion  makers  are  undertaken  from  overseas  to  India  under  the Hospitality Scheme.

All  the  projects  sanctioned  under  Swadesh  Darshan  and PRASHAD Schemes are at various stages of implementation and the impact  can  only  be  assessed  once  the  projects  are  completed. However,  during  the  last  three  years  the  Foreign  Tourist  Arrivals (FTAs), Foreign Exchange Earnings (FEEs) from tourism and Domestic Tourist Visits (DTVs) is given below:
