## ANSWER

THE MINISTER OF TOURISM

(SHRI G. KISHAN REDDY)

(a) to (c): Promotion and development of Tourism is primarily the responsibility of the State Governments/UT Administrations.

However, Ministry of Tourism promotes India in a holistic manner. As part of  its  on-going  activities,  it  releases  global  print,  electronic  and  online media campaigns in important and potential markets overseas,  under  the 'Incredible  India'  brand -line,  to  promote  various  tourism destinations  and products of the country.

Ministry  of  Tourism  has  formulated  a  National  Strategy  and  Roadmap  for Development of Rural Tourism in India (including agri-tourism). The strategy document focuses on the following key pillars:

- i. Model policies and best practices for rural tourism
- ii. Digital technologies and platforms for rural tourism
- iii. Developing clusters for rural tourism
- iv. Marketing support for rural tourism
- v. Capacity building of stakeholders
- vi. Governance and institutional framework

Ministry  of  Tourism  along  with  Central  Nodal  Agency  for  Rural  Tourism  & Rural  Homestays  (IITTM)  has  launched  Rural  Tourism  India  web  portal. Rural Tourism India portal has been integrated with The National Integrated Database  of  Hospitality  Industry  or  NIDHI  portal.  Ministry  of  Tourism  is encouraging  states  and  stakeholders  to  register  their  destinations  and experience based properties in NIDHI plus portal. Central Nodal Agency for Rural Tourism (IITTM) under the aegis of Ministry of Tourism is implementing the Best Tourism Village Competition. The Best Tourism Village Competition seeks to honour a village that best exemplifies a rural tourism destination with the overarching goal of making tourism one of  the  drivers  of  positive  change,  rural  development  and  community  well being. Ministry of Tourism has instituted a National Tourism Award in the category of 'Best Rural/ Agri/Plantation Touri sm projects' to motiva te the stakeholders in the tourism sector for implementing such projects. (d): The  details  of  the  tourism  development  projects  undertaken  by Ministry of Tourism under its schemes 'Swadesh Darshan', 'National Mission on  Pilgrimage  Rejuvenation  and  Spiritua l,  Heritage  Augmentation  Drive' (PRASHAD) and Assistance to Central Agencies for Tourism Infrastructure Development are at Annexure I, II and III, respectively.
