Rural Tourism still Unexplored
Rural India could prove to be a niche which World Tourism is looking for. It has much more to offer to Indian tourism due to its rich tradition of arts, culture and crafts. There is a need to market the concept of Rural Tourism in a way which can attract the foreign tourists who believe in getting more knowledge about the traditional ways of rural life, art and culture.
There is a doubt on the viability of the Rural Tourism concept amongst the few activists. But if we turn the pages of history, we will find that even though there is no marketing efforts to lure tourists, there are thousands of tourist visiting Rural India especially, rural villages in Rajasthan, Gujarat and Southern parts of India every year.
The Government of India has also identified the Tourism as one of the major sources of employment generation in the Tenth Plan. Recently, The Union Ministry of Tourism in collaboration with UNDP has come up with Endogenous Tourism Project that would be linked to the existing government schemes targeted towards promotion of Rural Tourism. Around $2.5 million is being committed towards this project, as per UNDP sources. Through this fund UNDP will try to look for capacity building, development of local communities, encourage NGOs for better involvement in communities and would look for Public- Private Partnerships. At the same time, the GoI will try to develop necessary infrastructure required for offering better experience to Rural Tourists.
Indian government has identified some 31 villages across the country for promoting Rural Tourism in India. These villages have been given preference because of availability of required infrastructure. There are many more villages which would also become the part of Rural Tourist Spots once adequate infrastructure is developed.
The most promising move made in terms of Rural Tourism is by State Government who themselves have come forward to attract rural tourists. This pilot project on endogenous tourism is rightly undertaken through the participation of both central as well as state governments and all other stakeholders likes local NGOs and concerned district administration.
This move to promote Rural Tourism will surely help India in earning more and more money in foreign exchange. It is going to hasten the socio-economic development of the rural people as well. It will give rural folks to interact will foreigners and will help them to learn things from the outside world. It will surely help in boosting employment opportunities in rural India.
