India is home to a rich culture and legacy. It celebrates diversity and embraces plurality. Hon. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has time and again emphasised on building “Brand India” with a special focus on Spiritual Tourism. Suggest 10 measures to support spiritual tourism in the country and compile them in a document.
1. Cleaning the spiritual tourist places like Varanasi, Puri, Sarnath etc.
2. Organising the tour guide business and banning the unauthorised guides.
3. Checking and eradicating the practice of highly inflated charges for foreigner tourists.
4. Providing security and protection to foreign tourists.
5. Advertising the benefits of indian spiritual arts like Yoga, Ayurveda, meditation etc. in foreign countries.
6. Ease in visa process for tourists visiting India for pilgrimage or holy places.
Some basic ideas which will help increase spiritual tourism but if implemented will improve life for every Indian.
Connectivity-from foreign lands straight to destination.Taxi, Volvo buses with GPS, run by trained drivers.Lodging, satvik food, good water and toilet facilities.Learned people as guides highlighting the importance of the sthala.Hindu, Christian, Muslim, Sikh,Parsi tourism can be encouraged.Food served in Trains-neat and fresh.Tourists should be going in a queue everywhere to avoid stampede.Online booking to avoid last minute rush.Strong buildings should be built in approved land.
Encourage indian music as well as indian musical instruments.
My area of interest and expertise is Ayurveda in particular. Although this is a wellness philosophy, it is tied into aspects of Spirituality. Then again, what in India is not.
Here are my ideas for making India a hub for Spiritual tourism. Please see the attachment.
My thoughts are in this PDF. Hope this helps.
Cleanliness should be priority at first place. I have seen good and best management at Sai’s temple starting from kakad arti. Discipline shown during kakad aarti is awesome. We will need to put strict rules to keep spiritual areas clean.
1) We must first practice what we are trying to preach.
2) Our country has many different and some odd practices this must be streamlined with qualified people.
3) Visitors must feel India is a Safe place.
4) We must avoid communal riots.
5) No girl or women should be abused.
6) Auto rickshaw people must behave not be charging undue fare.
7) Quality food.
8) Quality accomodation.
9) Approved yoga centre.
10) ApprovedGurus only tobe introduced to practice Spirtualty.
11) Swachh Bharat.
to make India a hub for spirutual tourism, we need to project its image as a world religion tolerant country and delete the misconception from the minds of people that it has dominating religion being practised. i believe that if all of us adopt a policy of spreading the message of peace and letting the world know more about how india preserves its religions rather than how it practises itz religion, we can make BRAND INDIA. moreover we can increase the security of tourism.
1. Keep our spiritual places very clean, maintain it in a natural way, living facility should be available.
2. Connectivity with all the major cities should be very smooth.
3. Online portal to connect all this places together.
4. Facilities for Yoga and other ancient ayurveda method should be available.
5. A large campaign is require to spread our spiritual values.
