11.1.2. Lack of products and experiences
The Policy further recognizes that destinations have also suffered in not offering a
range of products and experiences to engage with various age groups and varied
interests of the tourists. Many of the important tourist sites also suffer from over
tourism as there has not been adequate focus on carrying capacity of the
destinations. Lack of pedestrian areas, lack of engagement with the local artisans and
craftsmen have resulted into sub-optimal outcomes for our tourist destinations.
There is lack of effective destination management bringing public and private
stakeholders together with a strategic perspective for improving the sustainability
and competitiveness of the destination
11.2.
Classification of Destinations and Prioritization
11.2.1. Classification to be based on footfall and other parameters
In order to develop and promote tourist destinations in a planned manner, the
Ministry of Tourism will classify tourist destinations into various categories keeping
in view their importance in terms of world heritage sites, protected monuments,
footfall and such other relevant factors, as may be notified from time to time. The
destinations will also be maintained as per major themes such as heritage,
spirituality, wellness, adventure, wildlife etc.
This will help in prioritizing planning and
development of these destinations.
11.2.2. Database of destinations and attractions
The Ministry of Tourism will create a database of destinations and attractions and
important information related to them. The relevant information shall be available at
the website of the destination or the state. All important tourist destinations should
have their dedicated websites.
