Punjab Government has introduced bed and breakfast scheme, under which house and farm house owners can offer home-stay facilities to tourists in their houses and farms fully developed for visiting from the tourism point of view.
A spokesman of State tourism department said Punjab Heritage and Tourism Promotion Board (PHTPB) has invited applications from the interested home/farm house owners for this ambitious bed and breakfast and farm tourism scheme.
He said the registration of farm houses will be done in those cases where such places are fully developed and worth living and visiting. He said a high level committed to be formed by the board to inspect such sites.
He informed that this scheme would be a source of additional income for those who have adequate living area as per the requisite standard.
