Every year 27th September is celebrated as World Tourism Day. This year the theme of World Tourism Day is Tourism and Rural Development. Tourism helps rural communities hold onto their unique natural and cultural heritage, supporting conservation projects, including those safeguarding endangered species, lost traditions or flavours. Tourism has proven to be a lifeline for many rural communities. The sector is not just a leading source of employment, particularly for women and youth but it also provides opportunities for territorial cohesion and socio-economic inclusion for even the most remote regions.
Our villages and the people who live there are a true custodians and manifestation of our culture.
As we work towards more sustainable development of our country, developing related hard and soft infrastructure and promoting tourism in rural India is much required.

Ministry of Tourism in collaboration with MyGov invites you to share your views ideas on Rural India- How it can leverage tourism.

The thing which attracts people towards rural areas is outstanding techniques of living in villages, open space and their regional culture practiced in villages and of course natural beauty. We should try to motivate all these things.Secondly, connectivity is a major problem, during harsh weather conditions it becomes even more difficult to reach some villages in India.We shall make our village modern but we should check that it does not crushes our traditional culture.

Better not to develop any tourism in rural India, it requires a lot of infrastructure and CCTV cameras etc. Many times local people will have community clashes, and they set all boundaries. Even after you develop tourism, and infrastructure local government officials will always close them. For example in railway department, they always close ladies' toilets and ladies waiting halls.

Tourism can only develop in our RURAL INDIA if our villages get the proper touch of govt. assistance to improve infrastructure. Our govt. has done its best but still some observence is required in the following cases:
1. Fresh water is provided to every villages but THE PIPES ARE NOT HAVING TAPS IN THEIR MOUTHS. WATER FLOWS CONTINOUSLY LEADING TO WASTAGE.
2.Proper SCHOOL SYSTEM HAS TO BE DEVELOPED where education should reach the ground level DELETING ALL SUPERSTITIONS FROM VILLAGERS' MIND.

Weekend getaways are the most sought after holidays for urban dwellers. As most of the officer observe 5 day week the employees look for spending weekends with their families somewhere away from home but not too far away from the city. So we can develop a few homes in villages about 100 km away from large cities.Prepare these homes with natural village ingredients.Make living for a couple of days comfortable for tourists.Encourage corporates to offer their employees weekend holiday as incentives

Hey there!
Villages are the heart of India, No doubt. But think that why tourism in Indian villages is not too grown to say that there is no need of improvement now. So, to achieve this government should :-
1. Invest money on advertising to display the beauty of villages which creates enthusiasm in the visitors.
2. Improve electrical and transportation conditions of villages.
3. Hire local contractors to take care of the visitors.
4. Take this business online and promote it on social media.
