Circuit Tourism
Circuit Tourism
A country like India with it’s diversity can best be covered in clusters of tourists spots grouped together so that they are well connected for all travelers, especially international travelers and more especially repeat travelers.
Circuits can be developed within a state or between two states. Inter-state circuits could be based on various themes or on effective transport connectivity. What we mostly see is intra-state circuit tourism development. For example Goa, Rajasthan, Kerala states are individual success stories. Other state are also doing their part like Uttarakhand is promoting ChardhamPilgrimage Circuit with the help of private participation. The state of Gujarat plans to develop Kuch and Junagarh regions, West Bengal has identified circuits in the north Bengal region covering Dooars and places like Lava, Lolegaon, Bishnupur, Bankura, Tarapith and Shantiniketan and also historical places like Murshidabad and Plassey. Thus there could be various types of circuits i.e.
1. Religious Circuit 2. Freedom Movement Circuit 3. Tribal Circuit 4. Harappan Circuit 5. Heritage Circuit 6. Art and Crafts Circuit 7. Wildlife Circuit 8. Island Circuits
The Golden Triangle circuit i.e. Delhi – Agra – Jaipur has been India’s golden ace to attract international and domestic tourists alike for long. However India has not created more popular circuits that this in past. As is proved else where in the world that there comes a time when innovation must be called upon to stay fresh and have instant recall.
The Tourism circuits have all the advantages. They can be designed both within a state and between states. Unfortunately, India hasn’t exploited this enough as a result of which it either has the same old circuits to promote or has newer ones but with a weak foundation. Circuit Tourism was strongly advocated by IATO and has recommended that the country should create more well
