Government is preparing to increase income by promoting tourism, so much revenue came from religious tourism

In recent years, the country's tourism industry has undergone significant transformation. A dispute about positioning Lakshadweep as a superior tourism destination over the Maldives surfaced at the start of January this year. The North Arabian Sea island of Lakshadweep was going to see a number of development projects announced at that time by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Afterward, Lakshadweep was also being looked up on travel websites. Against this backdrop, the government is also developing plans to turn numerous other locations with great potential into tourist attractions.

Under this project, work is going on to develop border areas like Sir Creek and Kori Creek of the Kutch district of Gujarat as tourist destinations. This area is a 96-kilometer water strip between India and Pakistan, its water stream is called 'Ban Ganga'. Now the government is planning to develop this area extensively as a tourist destination. The Gujarat government has prepared a master plan to make this area a tourist destination. Apart from providing cultural, natural, and exciting experiences to tourists, the government aims to boost the local economy and create employment opportunities. Under this project, tourist destinations in border areas will be promoted.

According to government sources of Amar Ujala, this area will be developed under a Special Tourism Zone (STZ) project. A fish called Sar is found in this area, after which the area was named Sar Creek. The cuisine here has a history of its own, which is why a large number of people still visit this place. The government will now develop this area as a tourism hub. According to sources, funds will also be provided by the Central Government for these projects. Experts say that this project, which is situated in the north on the banks of Narayan Sarovar, is already a religious tourist destination. Koteshwar Temple on Kori Creek is already famous as a religious tourist destination. Now it has to be expanded.
