During the long period of COVID-induced lockdown and travel restrictions, Rajasthan has witnessed a huge blow to its tourism sector, which is a major contributor to the state economy. Now, the authorities have directed their attention towards fueling the growth of tourism in the territory through multiple initiatives.

The latest application is expected to come out on September 27, which is celebrated as World Tourism Day. Further, the authorities have kept in mind the upcoming tourist season of the desert state, which starts in October. As per the officials of the state tourism department, a surge in the number of domestic tourists is anticipated in the next six months with the easing regulations for inter-state mobility.
