The government aims to bring the rich cultural heritage of Uttar Pradesh’s villagers to the fore. Why not take advantage of its high number of villages? Villages look forward to tourism being brought to them by the state’s tourism department.
Thus, a phase-wise campaign has been launched by the state’s tourism department.
The first phase of this project has already begun in Uttar Pradesh. A total of 18 districts have been identified for rural tourism promotion.
In this campaign, the village’s cultural heritage will be promoted. There is also a rich historical background to many of these villages.
The villages will also receive training in cow farming, handicrafts, handlooms, food, and biological and agricultural diversity.
It will promote rural tourism in two villages in each district as part of the campaign plan. Shortly, we can expect to see around 26 newly constructed and improved villages ready to welcome tourists.
What is Agro-Rural Tourism?
It is called agro-rural tourism when rural culture is promoted as a tourist attraction. We live in times when agricultural practices and everything farm-related are seen as potential tourist attractions.
Instead of focusing on the natural landscape, rural culture takes center stage. In agro-rural tourism, we must include agri-accommodation (rural homestays), agri-food and beverage, agro-recreation, agri-sport, agri-entertainment, agri-therapy, and cultural tourism.
Rural areas are experiencing a lot of activity, and everything seems to be on track.
