Bed and Breakfast Scheme for Tourists by MTDC

MTDC has constructed holiday resorts and hotels at various places of tourist interest in the state. However, it is not possible, from a finance and administrative point of view, for MTDC or the private sector to make available such facilities at all places identified for tourism development. This is mainly because the visitor influx at these locations occurs either during the season only, or is limited to certain months. Due to this, tourist complexes - particularly those situated along the inner borders of the state - are commercially not viable from the point of view of investment and expenditure for maintenance. Tourists intending to visit sites outside Mumbai or Pune therefore generally find that the accommodation, if available, is not up to expected standards.

Due to the efforts of MTDC, the number of local, out-of-state and foreign tourists is slowly increasing. It is likely that visitors may start focussing on religious and/or, historically significant places in Maharashtra. It is, however, not profitable for the state to incur expenditure on the construction of tourist complexes at these locations. A survey by MTDC shows that there are a number of apartments/houses which are vacant or not fully utilized by their owners/landlords, who may make them available on rent. These can ideally be utilized by tourists on a paying-guest basis, particularly where traffic is seasonal. With this, over the near future, it will not be necessary for the government to incur expenditure on the construction of tourist complexes at these sites. The facility will create avenues for self-employment for local people - owner or his relatives. Tourists will also benefit, with good, hygienic and comfortable food and lodging, as well as the opportunity to experience life with a local family and participate in their traditions and customs. The system, if properly implemented, will also serve the broad objective of national integration and regional exchange.
