Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has called for promoting tourism by linking it with cultural renaissance, employment generation, and global recognition. Speaking at a review meeting of the tourism department, he outlined several initiatives to boost the sector.
Key Tourism Initiatives Announced
The Chief Minister approved changes in the tourism policy, introducing new concepts such as ‘Parampara’ Heritage Experience Centres, Agri Tourism, and Vineyard Tourism. These initiatives aim to provide unique experiences to visitors while supporting local economies.
Development of Heritage Circuits
Two major circuits will be developed: the Neem Karoli Baba Circuit and the Bundelkhand Fort Circuit. These circuits are expected to attract pilgrims, history enthusiasts, and tourists, thereby enhancing the state's appeal as a tourism destination.
Preservation of Ancient Knowledge
The Gyan Bharatam Mission will be launched to preserve India's ancient knowledge heritage. Efforts will be made to establish Naimisharanya as a global centre for Vedic knowledge, Yoga, Ayurveda, and Wellness, positioning it as a hub for spiritual and holistic tourism.
Development of Vindhyachal Region
Comprehensive development of the Trikon Parikrama area in Vindhyachal will be undertaken. The mythological story of Mata Sati will be presented effectively and attractively near the Shakti Peeth, aiming to boost religious tourism and cultural understanding.
These steps are part of a broader strategy to integrate tourism with cultural revival, job creation, and international visibility. The Chief Minister emphasized the need for innovative approaches to showcase Uttar Pradesh's rich heritage and natural beauty.
