In order to   once again attract tourists  to the grand state of Rajasthan , the government has recently announced  a   new  tourism policy , which ensures a safe and secure  ambience  for travellers .  As per the new policy, travellers are now allowed to  visit historical landmarks, and sites  across  cities such as Jodhpur , Jaipur ,  Jaisalmer and Udaipur .   

Moreover, w ildlife lovers can now experience the fauna at  sanctuaries and national parks, such as  Jhalana  Leopard Conservation Park,  Sariska Wildlife Sanctuary, Ranthambore National Park ,  Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary   and  Churu National Park . The state is  also  planning to re start serving its famous cuisine to its guests.

“The department has released comprehensive standard operating procedures (SOPs) for hotels, film shooting and tourist venues. The department is promoting the Short Stay Safe Stay concept to ensure that travel enthusiasts from nearby states can come to rejuvenate  in a safe and secure  ambiance ,” Alok Gupta, Principal Secretary, Department of Tourism, Government of Rajasthan told  Financial Express Online .  

With wedding and festival season just around the corner, the state of Rajasthan in its new tourism policy is  promoting  culture and wedding tourism , craft cuisine and film tourism, adventure, wildlife , tribal and eco-tourism , and  experiential  and de sert tourism —  with a major focus on heritage sites and monuments .     

  A post shared by Rajasthan Tourism (@rajasthan_tourism) on Sep 8, 2020 at 8:28am PDT

“With a view to offering a high-quality experience to tourists, the new policy has identified 15 categories of  experiential  tourism.  The identified categories include some of the traditional ones such as Wellness Tourism, Rural Tourism, MICE tourism, Tribal tourism , and then there are categories that focus on the unique aspects of Rajasthan, such as Desert Tourism, Wedding Tourism to concentrate on destination weddings and Weekend Getaway Tourism to offer weekend destinations for people of neighbouring states,” Financial Express Online  further quoted Gupta as saying.  

Moreover, earlier reports suggest that  the policy also plans to  identify   villages with prominent heritage hotels and sites , as  Special Heritage Village’ (SHV) or a ‘Special Craft Village’ (SCV), and later develop them as new tourist hubs. The tourism department has also reportedly  decided to launch ‘Rajasthan Calling ’,  in  India and abroad, to  connect people  who have roots here .  Further,  in an attempt to  bring innovation in the tourism sector, it is also looking forward to hosting an annual event ca lled,  ‘ Rajasthan Startup Tourism Connect’.

Tourism at present is considered the largest and fastest growing industry. It is increasingly acquiring organized form and seen as multi-dimensional; hence, viewed as possessing huge potential in terms of future development. The available literature also highlights its role in the promotion of faster, sustainable and inclusive regional development focusing on poor sections and local areas. Though there is a rich typology of tourism today, cultural tourism is considered important across the world as it contributes to the gross tourism income substantially. The cultural potential of a region is therefore crucial in this regard which meaningfully connects the past with the present in a particular geographical setting containing both natural and cultural elements. The present chapter makes an attempt to analyse the status and potential of cultural tourism in the context of regional development of Rajasthan. This western state of India is gifted with a rich and long history and a vast pool of diverse cultural heritage as well as natural resources which could be used to develop the region by promoting it as a globally competitive tourist destination. The Rajasthani culture has two levels—folk and royal—manifested in different forms. The former offers traditional textiles, handicraft, paintings, music, dance, cuisines, and the latter has forts, magnificent palaces, beautiful gardens, etc. to the tourists.

Eco-tourism in Rajasthan

Eco-tourism in Rajasthan

Background:

Fundamentally, eco-tourism means making as little environmental impact as possible and helping to sustain the native population. Thereby encouraging the preservation of wildlife and habitats when visiting a place. This is a responsible form of tourism and tourism development. It encourages going back to natural products in every aspect of life. It is also the key to sustainable ecological development, to be aware of the environment.

Today, the ‘Green Laws’ of conservation are making people aware of how man and the environment can live symbiotically for more time to come and eco-tourism is the only way to maximize the economic, environmental and social benefits of tourism. Everyone is a stakeholder in the process. As aresult, we clearly need to avoid our past shortcomings and the negative impact that they have had. In India too the movement is gathering momentum with more and more travel and travel related organizations. The tourism industry is addressing the needs of the eco-tourists and promoting eco-tourism in the country.

Eco-tourism Policy of Rajasthan,2021

In July 2021, the Rajasthan State Government released this policy with the aim to generate economic benefits whilst conserving natural areas and attracting tourism to the state – this is an amendment to the original 2010 policy. 

The policy defines Eco-tourism as:

“Tourism where the main motivation of the tourists is the conservation and appreciation of the ecosystems in the environment as well as the traditional cultures prevailing in natural areas…contains educational and interpretation features…minimizes negative impacts upon the natural and sociocultural environment…supports the maintenance of natural areas which are used as eco-tourism attractions by generating economic benefits for host communities, providing income opportunities for local communities and increasing awareness towards the conservation of natural and cultural assets.”

Permitted activities under this policy include:

  • Trekking, nature walk, bird and wildlife watching, and flora and fauna photography
  • Boating, river cruising to view wildlife and experience wilderness
  • Overnight camping, star-gazing in designated sites/forts/monuments
  • Travel focussed on experiencing Rajasthan’s fairs and festivals that promote eco-tourism and sustainability of local traditions
  • Lodging in campsites, eco-lodges, homestays and guest houses that are located in an area of natural/cultural beauty and involves local specificities
  • Activities in specified areas of the forest such as jungle safari in vehicles or elephant/camel safari, overnight camping in designated sites.

How Tourists can Support Eco-tourism  :

  • Using locally owned and run services .
  • Using locally owned and run accommodation. Not only does the money from homestays directly benefit the community but tourists also gain an authentic insight into the region.
  • Purchase any and all equipment and food from locally produced sources.
  • Support local income generating and small business enterprises. This is possible by supporting locally owned transportation, shops and restaurants, and using local guide and staff services.
  • Taking responsibility for maintaining and improving the environment.
  • Provide financial support for local economic and environmental projects that will benefit the local communities and thereby actively encouraging local community involvement in the tourism projects.
  • Elephant and camel rides are a big no no. Rides on these animals are especially popular for tourists in the state of Rajasthan. The manner in which elephants are treated in order to be habituated for humans is unethical and cruel. Therefore, we must therefore always avoid such thrills. 

tourism policy of rajasthan

Responsible Eco-tourism Tips for Rajasthan’s Tourists :

  • Water usage is not surprisingly an issue in the desert and you certainly do need to drink bottled mineral water. But packing vehicles with several plastic bottles just isn’t the way to go. Ask your tour operator in advance if they have a policy about this, so that you can bring your own bottle and refill it from large water containers
  • Jeeps should never go over 20kmph in the national park, so ensure your driver keeps to that. Ensuring minimum noise levels provides peaceful environment to the wildlife.
  • If you come across camel meat in Rajasthan, be aware that slaughtering it for meat is illegal in the state. Also, it means it is done under the radar. It was made the state animal in 2014 in order to try to highlight its importance and to put a stop to their dwindling numbers. 

tourism policy of rajasthan

In a Nutshell:

Globally tourists know Rajasthan for its diversity in natural resources, cultural heritage, historical as well as archeological wonders and rare wildlife. Consequently, there is tremendous potential for eco-tourism in the state. As eco-tourists, we must strive to preserve local resources wherever possible. In addition to the tips mentioned in the listicle above, we must be aware of the impact of our money and choosing sustainable local businesses to spend our money on. Places we can support as eco-tourists are Sundha Mata temple in Jalore, Bassi in Chittorgarh, Kumbhalgarh in Rajsamand and Bhilwa’s Hamirgarh and Menal – which have all been developed as per the new eco-tourism guidelines.

With its diverse offerings from history and culture to adventure and cuisine, Rajasthan provides a captivating and memorable holiday destination for all kinds of travellers.

Best time to visit:  The best time to visit Rajasthan is during the winter season from October to March. However, it is also the busiest and most expensive period. Popular destinations like Jaipur, Udaipur, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, and Mount Abu attract large crowds during this peak season.

Here’s a list of places you must visit on your next trip to Rajasthan: 

Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, is popularly known as the “Pink City.” It is one of India’s famous tourist destinations and a must-visit place on Rajasthan tour packages. Along with Delhi and Agra, it forms the Golden Triangle of Indian tourism. Jaipur attracts visitors worldwide for its rich heritage and culture. Major attractions include Amber Fort, Sheesh Mahal, Ganesh Pol, Hawa Mahal, Jal Mahal, and Nahargarh Fort. The city is also renowned for its beautiful jewellery, fabrics, shoes, and spacious gardens. It hosts grand festivals like the Kite Festival, Camel Festival, Teej, Gangaur, and Elephant Festival.

Udaipur is a historic city and district headquarters in Rajasthan, about 399 km from Jaipur and 656 km from Delhi. It is a top heritage site near Delhi and a must-visit place on Rajasthan tours. The city boasts natural beauty, mesmerizing temples, and breathtaking architecture. Referred to as the “Venice of the East” and “City of Lakes,” its prime attractions include City Palace, Lake Palace, Bagore Ki Haveli, Pichola Lake, Fateh Sagar Lake, Jag Mandir Palace, Jagdish Temple, and Eklingji Temple. Nearby attractions include Kumbhalgarh Fort, Chittorgarh Fort, Nathdwara, and Ranakpur. The Mewar and Gangaur festivals celebrated with songs, dances, processions, and fireworks, add to Udaipur’s charm.

Jodhpur, the second-largest city in Rajasthan, is about 562 km from Delhi and is considered one of India’s top tourist destinations. Known as the “Sun City,” it features many palaces, forts, and temples set against the stark landscape of the Thar Desert. The old city surrounds the Mehrangarh Fort, while the new city lies outside. Jodhpur is also called the “Blue City” due to the blue-painted houses around the fort. Major attractions include Mehrangarh Fort, Umaid Bhawan Palace, Jaswant Thada, Mandore, and various lakes and gardens. The city’s bazaars offer a treasure trove of tie-dye textiles, embroidered leather shoes, lacquerware, antiques, carpets, and puppets.

Jaisalmer, known as the “Golden City of India,” is a must-visit place on Rajasthan tour packages and a prominent heritage site. Located about 278 km from Jodhpur and 762 km from Delhi, it gets its golden glow from the yellow sandstone used in its architecture. Jaisalmer is famous for royal forts, havelis, palaces, museums, and temples like the Jaisalmer Fort, Nathmalji ki Haveli, and Gadisagar Lake. It attracts tourists for desert camel safaris, a popular activity on the Sam and Khuri Sand Dunes. The Jaisalmer Desert Festival, a music festival held near Sam Sand Dunes in February, is also a major draw.

Mount Abu is a hill station in Rajasthan’s Aravalli Range, about 166 km from Udaipur and 753 km from Delhi. It is a popular summer destination and a must-visit place on Rajasthan tour packages. At an altitude of 1220m, Mount Abu is Rajasthan’s only hill station, with the highest peak Guru Shikhar at 1,722m.

Top attractions include Dilwara Jain Temples, Guru Shikhar Peak, Nakki Lake, Achalgarh Fort, and Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary.
