Development of Tourism is primarily undertaken by the concerned State Governments (SGs)/Union Territory Administrations (UTA’s). However, the Ministry of Tourism complements these efforts by providing financial assistance to the State Governments and Union Territories under its various infrastructure schemes. The Ministry is further encouraging the State Governments to include soft components involving the use of technology to enhance visitor experience at major tourist destinations in the project proposals formulated by them for sanctioning under such schemes.

The Ministry has launched the revamped version of Incredible India Digital Platform (IIDP) as a comprehensive resource for travellers and stakeholders interested in exploring the country’s rich cultural heritage, natural beauty, and diverse attractions of the country including Rajasthan. The Incredible India Digital Platform (IIDP) personalizes visitor experiences by offering real-time weather updates, city exploration, and essential travel services. The portal has also partnered with several OTAs (Online Travel Agents) and Stakeholders for seamless booking of flights, hotels, cabs, and buses and tickets for ASI monuments.

This information was given by Union Minister for Tourism and Culture Shri Gajendra Singh Shekhawat in a written reply in Lok Sabha today.
