Heritage tourism checks in
The roaring success of neighbour Rajasthan in heritage tourism seems to be finally rubbing off on Gujarat.
So much so that the buoyant demand has enthused 11 properties into sprucing up to join the existing 15 for a slice of the burgeoning pie.
But tourists are pouring in now," says an elated Yuvraj Saheb Digvijaysinhji of Wankaner's RanjitNivas Palace. According to Heritage Hotels Association of Gujarat secretary Gopal Sinhji, with a flood of queries for the September 2006 to March 2007 season, a 25-30 per cent increase in tourist inflow is expected.
So what has given the hitherto languishing heritage segment a fresh lease of life? While the concept is proving to be a big draw for many, wildlife, adventure, temple architecture and textile tourism too are attracting visitors, say sources.
