Given the increasing tourism potential of the state in recent years, the Uttar Pradesh government has stepped up preparations for the Mahakumbh 2025.
The Uttar Pradesh Tourism Department has invited applications for the annual maintenance, updates and enhancement of its official website www.uptourism.gov.in.
The selected agency will streamline the department’s website, ensuring it is well-equipped with various technical features such as data encryption, search engine optimisation (SEO), error-free user experience and regular software updates.
The website of the Uttar Pradesh Tourism Department functions as a central hub for information and resources related to tourism in the state. The website has been designed to provide a wide range of information and services to both tourists and stakeholders interested in the promotion and development of tourism in the state.
“For the annual maintenance of the web portal, the agency will be engaged through a 3-year contract, which will enhance the website’s performance, management and security, and optimise its features,” a government spokesman said.
The website is already hosted on the state data centre, and during maintenance, it will continue to be hosted on the same platform.
“The annual maintenance process carried out by the agency will be quite effective in ensuring a smooth and seamless user experience on the website related to the latest developments and tourist attraction sites in the state,” the official said.
The agency will focus on regular software updates, security patches and performance optimisation to enhance the speed and accessibility of the website.
The Tourism Department has started preparations for the Mahakumbh scheduled to be held on the Sangam banks in Prayagraj in the year 2025. In this regard, the department has invited applications through e-tender for setting up tents in the Tent City to be established during the Mahakumbh. Agencies selected from these tenders will be responsible for constructing and managing the Tent City with various facilities in different blocks.
