Rajasthan will Diversify its Tourism Offerings by introducing Golf and Water Adventure activities. Rajasthan’s Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot announced in the state budget for 2023-24 the international golf courses at five key tourist destinations, including Mount Abu (Sirohi), Jodhpur, and Udaipur.
The Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation (RTDC) was appointed as the nodal agency for this. The RTDC issued an Expression of Interest (EOI) to seek suggestions from interested parties about the development and operation of golf courses.
They also issued an EOI for water activities in the Nevta Dam, Kanota Dam (both in Jaipur), and Bandh Baretha (Bharatpur). Water Adventure Tourism will have activities such as boating, speed boating, zorbing, pontoon boat and banana boats and other facilities for tourists.
Golfers come for leisure trips for three-four days. They spend higher than a normal tourist which will not only increase revenue but also give an edge to the state at the international level.
