Delhi Tourism
Delhi Tourism is all set to promote Tourism in the Capital City of India. As part of its endeavor to make Delhi as a modern and tourist friendly city, Government of Delhi has taken various initiatives in recent years for development of tourism infrastructure, conservation of monuments and heritage and tourist facilitation by setting up tourist information centers.
Delhi Tourism has started Hop on Hop Off bus service which covers all the main tourist attractions in Delhi including Monuments, Bazaars, Museums and cultural centers for the tourists visiting Delhi. DTTDC also offers local and outstation tour packages to neighboring states, air ticketing, adventure sports activities etc. A slew of new projects, aimed at enhancing Delhi's attractions as a tourist destination and encouraging travelers to extend their stay in this historic city, are being facilitated by Delhi Tourism. Delhi's astonishing heritage is the city's star attraction — both in terms of its monuments and its cultural offerings. In the 2011 roundup of National Awards for tourism, Delhi Tourism won the award for "Best Heritage Walk" for which it has collaborated with INTACH. Delhi is already home to three UNESCO World Heritage sities and is seeking the UNESCO inscription, as a World Heritage city.
For faciliting a comprehensive heritage experience of delhi two heritage circuits have been identified for integrated development. The project should be fully on course in 2-3 years' time. The Heritage Circuit will cover the heritage monuments and structures in the NCR (National Capital Region). There are seven Heritage Routes on the anvil. The Religious Circuit will feature important places of worship.
Cinema tourism is going to be big for Delhi. Bollywood has been highly responsive to the offerings of Delhi — the city has over a hundred notified monuments. Delhi Tourism is a nodal agency on behalf of the Government of NCT of Delhi for a single-window clearance for film-shooting in Delhi. The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting is planning to constitute a National Film Commission in which Delhi Tourism will be representing the Government of NCT.
Delhi Tourism's Bed and Breakfast scheme received an encouraging response at the Commonwealth Games: It has 500 registered B&Bs with 1500 rooms in the gold and silver category.
The scheme was showcased during the ITB at Berlin this year. There is a proposal to set up budget hotels at several large DTC bus depots in town. Dilli Haat at Janakpuri, readying to be up and running by 2013, will also feature a tourist hotel for budget travellers. Eco Tourism is a major thrust area for Delhi Tourism's new projects across the city. A wellness centre will come up near the Garden of Five Senses under the government's Public Private Partnership (PPP) scheme. Chhawla and Kangan Hen i near Dwarka host its new ecological amusement park featuring a camping site and water sports. Also on the drawing board is the development of the catchment area of the Yamuna, after the completion of the Signature Bridge at Wazirabad.
Other PPP scheme projects are the development of Bhaleswa Lake as a mini Sentosa, a Nature Bazaar, in collaboration with Dastkar, in Mehrauli and an international class Night Bazaar opposite pragati Maidan.
