On the lines of travel and tour majors like Make My Trip, Go Ibibo, the Yogi Adityanath government is preparing the most unique and attractive package for tourists in collaboration with the Forest Corporation and Tourism department.
The package will include forest destinations besides UP’s favourite destinations.
“Through these packages, the state government will promote those places which have the potential to become a tourist destination but due to the neglect of the previous governments, till now they have been away from the eyes of tourists,” a government spokesman said.
He said the government was now preparing to make these places a hot destination for tourism. These packages will also provide car facilities for tourists to live, eat and move around.
The government will also provide a guide facility to explain the importance of tourism areas and to tell their history.
“The Forest department has prepared this proposal. With the approval of the Tourism department and the state government, it will be offered to the tourists,” the official said.
For these packages, the state government is trying to promote the home stay scheme as well. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath plans to bring people living in rural and forest areas into the mainstream of employment through a home stay scheme.
In the chief minister’s review meetings, top officials of the government have also been instructed to link local people with employment and the development of the tourism industry, especially, the areas that have their own historical significance.
The Forest department is also running the scheme to promote home stay. The scheme is being started in the districts of Terai as well as in Bundelkhand and Vindhya region.
According to a senior Forest department official, the package for tourists will be arranged from Lucknow, Delhi and Noida. Tourists will also make their booking for the place. From there the car will take them to their destinations.
