no vehicle area. This was essential to reduce the damage caused
by vehicular pollution to the painting of Ajanta.
7. To conserve and preserve monuments and natural resources in
the Ajanta Ellora region.2

5.4. Tourism Financial Prosperity

Today, we have seen many countries, because of the
development of the country's economic development, which has
developed only in our country. Singapore is one such example. There are
many places in Maharashtra where tourism can be developed.We should
develop development of this historic and natural beauty area. Local
tourists should be made from the tourism here; the locals should have a
means of financial revenues. If we do that, our culture will be maintained,
it will be appreciated.

Maharashtra has got a lot of glory. 750 km of state Take the

beach; take different types of forests and habitat of animals and birds, sea

Page 188
level, mountain range and forts. Take cool places, temples, Buddhists and
caves of Jain Dharmiyas. Hapus mango, Take Nagpur's orange juice;
specialize in various parts of the state, such as Maharashtrian cooking.
Take a sari of the Pune bank; take a special Paithani of Paithan. Take a
Ganpati festival of Maharashtra. Many people take voluminous collection
of books, texts. Seduce your balls and grapes and take a fight like a
bandage. Take Lezem, Lavani, Dhol-Tasha or GanpanaGanpati
Today tourists from abroad and abroad come here our
community, have a lot of history and this is a special attraction for foreign
tourists. The number of Indian tourists coming to Maharashtra is also
significant. But we still do not use our tourism capability as much as you
would like us to the fort fortresses that are not anywhere in the country is
in Maharashtra. Each of these caves has a very exciting history. You
cannot find a definite record telling us how many forts are in
Maharashtra.
There are 11 geographical indicators of Mahabaleshwar
strawberries, grapes of Nashik, Solapur kiosks in Solapur, Teri Tawla of
Solapur, Paithani of Paithan, Khanshaini of Nashik, PanganPagdi,
Nagpur's Orangi, Kolhapur Chappals, WarliChitra and Kolhapur jaggery.
The applications for Ratnagiri and DevgadHapus and
Beed'sSathfale are currently pending. There are many tourists visiting,
Verul, Bhaje, Bhalsa, Carla, Pandavalli and Pitalakhor to see the cave
today. But can there be more number of tourists. Do they get the facilities
they need? To enhance the beauty of that tourism site, what can be done
to highlight its features. Tourism gets handy work because of income; on
this occasion, our culture helps to consolidate and history can be
lightened. Our history remains alive for the next generation. But tourism
should not be seen as a net entertainment; there are many such objectives,
such as relaxation, change, new viewing and an opportunity to get it, but

Page 189
tourists should be able to achieve it.The state of Maharashtra is bounded
by Arabian Sea on the west and it has borders with the states of Gujrat,
Madhya Pradesh,Chattisgarh Andhra Pradesh and karnatka.3
In Maharashtra tourism lacks basic infrastructure. In the villages
and small towns of Pune, large numbers of migrants are migrating to
Pune, Mumbai and other big cities. Can tourism be promoted in
Maharashtra today and cannot we provide such a good environment.
Tourism is an important aspect of the development of the state
and the locals will be able to create a new tool of income and will also
help to preserve our culture. We must develop tourism to achieve this
triple purpose. The higher the participation of the growing population of
the cities, the development of that village / town can be done faster. Basic
amenities like roads, electricity, water etc. can be provided as soon as
possible with the thought of development of tourism. There will be no
additional stress on the city due to the inhibition of migration and due to
the youth staying in their respective places, it will also help in
development. It can all happen because of tourism development.

5.5. Plan for Tourist Destination Development

Some things should be undertaken to bring economic prosperity
through tourism. The work should be done to enable new places where
the tourism destination is the first place. Every tourist destination should
be developed according to the facilities available. Where priority is
available, it should be preferred.Where there is a tourism sector, but there
is a shortage of infrastructure facilities, the priority should be for those
places and the third priority should be developed for the places which are
tourism but not the infrastructure. In the following figure, the tourist
destination development priorities have been explained

Page 190
 5.6. Tourism Development Model
Every tourist site should be categorized into tourism. Under this,
there should be minimum facilities as per below:
 Information Centres for tourists - Information about stay-food
facilities available here, brochures showing the historical,
geographical importance of the site should be available to the
tourists.
 There should be affordable accommodation for all financial
categories.
 Trained local guides should be available.
 Be the first to be an official centre for handicrafts and food sales.
 There should be plenty of clean and public facilities following the
standards set by the Central Government.
 Tourist spots for tourist places, e.g. Schedule, public facility,
information leaflet, etc. Should be.
 Have a proper cure and sanitation system.

5.7. Development of tourism – Mahabharaman' scheme:

In the past, there is now a very wide range of tourism that is
dedicated to God-view, that there is a need to say that 'tourism has to be
stabbed'. In the three main sections of the rainy season, summer and
winter, we can see the current tourist expansion. A lot of crew was
created in summer, crowds, graveyards, tour of the forest; summer march
Durg-fort, mountainous terrain is covered with a white fog Winter
ShaniNayanManohari Tourism also receives tremendous response.
'Mahabharaman' scheme is being implemented by the Maharashtra State
Tourism Corporation, through this vision, to develop new concepts of

Page 191
tourism, etc. and through this, employment generation should be provided
to the beneficiaries.
The main purpose of the Mahabalamban scheme is to provide
tourists with all the facilities by implementing a new concept of tourism
and from this perspective. The Corporation has started the scheme to
identify the variety of soil, culture and tradition of Maharashtra and to
give tourists a different experience than traditional tourism. The licensed
beneficiaries of this scheme are Junnar, Mulshi and Maval. However,
there is still a great scope to register for this march.

In Maharashtra, some farmers, private entrepreneurs and non-

government organizations are doing various experiments in the field of
tourism. From this there is a known identity of the multi-colored
existence of Maharashtra. Life style of the peacock linked to the soil, the
hail of leaf holes on the trek through the mountains and the hills, the heels
covered with trek, and the trekking experience Sahyadri clandestine
adventure, Challenges of the wild on the wetlands of the dense forest,
Games with the flow of the rivers, the discoveries of the ocean beneath
the unique universe, Art, Handicrafts, festivals and festivals of the tribal’s
are a unique experience of tourism.

The concept of Mahabharram is universal enough to take care of,

take care of them, and bring them to different levels of tourism in
Maharashtra, bringing such farmers, entrepreneurs and non-government
organizations under their shade mahabraman.

5.8. Role of Government’s in tourism development

This clearly indicates that the government has realized the socio-
economic significance of tourism development, therefore apart from
providing public services for all sections of society, the government has
another important role to play the role of referee or regulatory between
conflicting interests of society .This of course is a difficult role but if not
played will result in social chaos. Government’s regulatory role can be
examined in some of the relevant areas like environment security,
technological advances etc.
Tourism is a multi-sectored activity and the industry is affected
by many other sectors of the nation’s economy. The state has to therefore,
ensure intergovernmental linkages and co ordination. It also has to play a
pivotal role in tourism management and promotion, in particular, the
government has to-
 Facilitate availability of trained manpower particularly from
amongst the local population jointly with the industry.

 Undertake research, prepare master plans and facilitate

formulation of marketing strategies.
Page 195
  Provide public infrastructural facilities including local planning
and zoning arrangements.

 Organize overseas promotion and marketing jointly with the

industry.

 Facilitate the growth of a dynamic tourism sector.

 Plan tourism development as a part of the overall area development

strategy

 Create nucleus infrastructure in the initial stages of development

to demonstrate the potential of the area.

 Provide support facilities and facilitation services to private

enterprises along with appropriate incentives and land policies.

 Introduce regulatory measures to ensure social, cultural and

environmental sustainability.

 Ensure that the type and scale of tourism development is

compatible with the environment and socio-cultural milieu of the
area.

 Ensure that the local community is fully involved and the benefits
of tourism accrue it them.

 Include tourism in land planning. 5

5.9 .Objectives of tourism development:

1. It becomes a unifying force nationally and internationally fostering
better understanding through travel.

Page 196
2. It gives a direction and opportunity to the people of the country
through inbound, outbound and domestic tourism to understand the
geographical and cultural diversity of nation and regions as well as
the aspirations and viewpoints others so as to bring about a greater
national integration and cohesion.6
3. It offers opportunities to the youth of the country not only for

5.10 . Role of private sector in tourism development:

Government of India ,alog with private sector must take concrete

steps in the improment and development of this nost of assets i.e. Human
Resource. 8 Tourism has emerged as the largest export industry globally,
the private sector has to consider investment in tourism from a long term
perspective and create the required facilities including accommodation,
restaurant, entertainment facilities, shopping complexes, etc in areas
identified for tourism development. In general, the private sector has to-

5.11 Community development and tourism
To say about Maharashtra, the government's tourism policy
should be for the local people to get employment. Local people in Kokan
are involved in such tourism business. Agricultural tourism is a new way
of economic development in rural areas.
Every year 27 September is celebrated as World Tourism Day.
The United Nations World Tourism Organization has been celebrating
this day since 1980. The main event of the World Tourism Day is being
held in Guadalajara, Mexico.
United Nations organized the concept of community
development and tourism on the occasion of the tourism day. Strategies,
obstacles and solutions People outside of India are very less for
tourism.Some of the placements do not have any features. Due to political
unrest about tourism policies, Malaysia, Thailand, Bali, and Tajikistan
cannot become such a tourist centre.

5.12 .Tourism and community development

When you go for tourism, you enjoy the typical food of the
village. They buy famous land there. Therefore, the development of the
people is developing. While using the traffic system to see the places in
it, we are giving employment to many people, and only for the people, it
should be done just as financially as possible. The second point here is
that local people should not rob the traveller by telling him the price.
Because our culture tells the ATHITI DEVO BHAVE at the same way.
People travel to tourism in order to get relief from their work in urban
areas. Every year, some people are entertaining and they make tours
every year.
Tourism has a significant impact on much of the world .9 In the
last century, the concept of nation change and progress has become a

Page 199
spectator of the world's largest landmass, which has become the world's
longest-living tourism festival, hosted by Huang Tsang, Ibn Battuta and
Marco Polo. The tourists of Patti started singing in the form of coconuts
of local-regional-national-international boundaries.India is ranked 65th in
144 countries in the world for tourism. But at the same time, India is
ranked number 20 in tourism around the world. On the occasion of World
Tourism Day, Gyanjos and other major facts on the tourism sector of the
third largest industry.

Everyone feels comfortable for some time and for the family, for
the time being. The ferries of tourists are then arranged according to
the patchwork. However, the exact information of the tourist, travel
arrangements, there is not enough time for lodging and dining
arrangements etc. Then, on a travel company, we are all satisfied
with all these things. Of course, there are many amateur tourists who
make themselves perfect planning and arranging without the help of
such Travel Agencies. The business which provides the necessary
assistance and facilities to these tourists is 'Tourism business’. The

sports, dance music etc. Events planned so as to enjoy the kind of art, etc.
In many ways the local population can engage in some business related to
tourism.
 Visiting the food culture of Maharashtra can be the initiative of a
woman in the house given to tourists. The woman who gets the

Page 204
 financial benefits for this will get it and she will be able to become
a homemaker professional.
 Bakharwadi, Padodiya and Khandari variety of food items in the
country can become an attraction for tourists. Apart from that,
there is a perfect dining table in that area.
 Homestay ideas can also be implemented on these lines. Many
people, especially foreign tourists, are curious about the lifestyle of
the locals. These visitors may have the convenience of staying for a
couple of days for the local people on their trip.This facility can be
done at the home of the people of the village. Businessmen can get
foreign workers from these simple things like mine-to-house-
clothes.
 Each village or district has its handicrafts, sculpture, and dance and
music culture. This art can be displayed in front of the tourists.
Samples of local dance, music and folk songs can be presented for
tourists. Handicrafts, sculpture, durable food items, ornamental
items etc. made by local people 'S sales centers can be set up. On
that occasion local artists will get the opportunity and local art will
be alive.
 If the tourist is in the area, the farmers there can organize agro-
tourism. Considering that things like farming, farm work, etc. are
attracting tourists from across the world, Sankrant, Hulga,
Nagpanchami, Tripuri Purnima, etc. Tourists can be involved in
similar festivals.
 3 elements to make the development of tourism in such a way that
by keeping the environment balanced, local employment
generation, and promoting the culture and culture of the
entrepreneur. By keeping these 3 elements in mind, Maharashtra
should do the following things to fully develop tourism capability –

there are also many places that you do not know. With the

In the globalisation world, the channels in the small screen of the
world such as National Geographic-s Discovery have been able to reach
the importance of tourism. The dream of growing middle class of money
started becoming Thailand-Malaysia-Singapore instead of Kulu-Manali,
Simla, Kerala.After 1999, keeping in mind the rigorous growth of South
Asian Nations, and fulfilling the diversity of nature's beauty found in
Malaysia, which has become the highlight of the world tourism map,
India still enjoys the leadership of Nirbhasachandra in tourism. At the
same time, Indian tourists are increasing the foreign exchange reserves by
various attractive tour packages.

are clinging to countries like this. In the corporate sector, there are special
tourists where the country's multilateral objectives are met. According to

country's geographical areas, which are now being considered by the
tourists. Travelling on glossy papers and tourism magazines - Weeks
have never been such a good day, TRPs are showing an increase in
tourism channels. Domestic tourism has increased in the last decade, but
domestic tourism does not seem to have required economic activity.
Unlike tourism areas- historic places, protected-under-natured nature

infinite capacity to expand due to the political, social and personal non-
state of tourism.14
