How industry status has raised hopes of tourism revival in rajasthan, stakeholders hope the rs 1,000 crore allocation in the budget will be spent innovatively to transform tourism in the state.

Listen to Story

The grant of industry status for tourism means that power tariff and certain taxes would be at par with other industries, as against the current commercial charges, which are way higher. Hoteliers and restaurateurs in the state had to pay hefty power bills even for minimum load through the difficult Covid lockdown periods as they were subjected to commercial rates.

Gehlot said the tariff concessions will bring a financial burden of Rs 700 crore a year on the state exchequer. He also announced the Rajasthan Rural Tourism Scheme, under which transfer of property would be exempted from stamp duty, besides other sops such as reimbursement of SGST for 10 years and loans up to Rs 25 lakh at 9 per cent interest.

To encourage conversion of heritage properties into hotels, Rajasthan will offer concessional stamp duty on purchase and lease agreement for hotels housed in buildings constructed prior to 1950. The land rates for resorts, camping sites, amusement parks and animal safari parks will be kept same as residential rates in the urban areas and agricultural rates in the rural areas.

The state budget has earmarked Rs 1,000 crore for developing tourism. The figure is based on a tourism development fund of Rs 500 crore for 2022-23 and a similar amount allocated in 2021-22. Of this, Rs 600 crore will be spent on infrastructure, including building toilets at places of tourist interest, and the rest on tourism promotion. However, there is apprehension about whether the money will be spent judiciously. “We want an advisory committee or authority to be formed that supervises how this Rs 1,000 crore will be spent. It must yield concrete results,“ says Mandawa.

Diya Kumari, the BJP MP from Rajsamand, says the funds should not be spent on stereotyped ways of tourism promotion. “It’s a huge amount which, if spent properly, can help transform tourism in Rajasthan. So many properties across the state need basic conservation and development to attract tourists,” she says.

Industry stakeholders expect tourism minister Vishvendra Singh and Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation (RTDC) chairman Dharmendra Singh Rathore to bring in innovative changes to the sector. Hoteliers have, meanwhile, started exploring ways to attract tourists. The focus is on young travellers and creating recreational options for them. Arvind Jain of Resort Sawai Vilas in Ranthambore says that while the state government’s initiatives are welcome, the need is to promote sustainable tourism. “It’s bad to turn Ranthambore into a wedding destination that it is fast becoming. Instead, it should have eco-friendly and heritage-friendly tourism in the backdrop of the Ranthambore Fort and Chambal river,” says Jain.
