The unparalleled variety and richness of tourist destinations in Madhya Pradesh make the state a unique experience for visitors. Displaying its cultural heritage, the MP Tourism organised a get-together for the travel, trade and hospitality fraternity. The evening touched upon destinations, handicrafts, tribal dance forms, cuisine, Simhastha 2016 and investment opportunities in the state.
Once upon a time, Madhya Pradesh was regarded as one of the BIMARU states of India but not anymore. This rapid transformation to become the fastest growing state of the country has been made possible by a progressive government that believes delivery and that too with compassion at the core of all its activities.
It is also fortunate that tourism continues to be one of the key focus areas of the state government with the result that the resurgence of this sector in the state has been widely noticed and appreciated in recent years, both within the country and outside.
The excellent work done in this sector has also received widespread recognition in the form of innumerable awards received by Madhya Pradesh Tourism in various forums. The government continues to regard tourism as an instrument of growth, change and poverty alleviation. Its commitment to give a further thrust to this sector through its progressive policies, incentives and measures towards facilitation is indeed a sign of a very bright future for this sector in this state.
Moreover other factors such as locational advantage leading to ease of access, beautiful landscape, superior standards of cleanliness, a safe and secure environment and simple populace, all go together to add tremendous value and appeal to the plethora of tourist attractions in the state.
The government has gone many steps further in its quest to realise the true tourism potential of the state by adopting a very progressive tourism policy, making a land bank and also offering attractive incentives to investors desirous of investing in the tourism sector in the state. These incentives can be availed of through a transparent online process.
