New Year gift from MTDC to Women travellers
Maharashtra stands as a prime tourist destination, boasting the distinction of being the only state in India with six world heritage sites, over 850 caves, and nearly 400 forts. The state’s allure extends beyond its historical treasures to encompass diverse landscapes, featuring mountain ranges, national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, beaches, and rivers.
Maharashtra’s rich cultural tapestry, complete with heritage, customs, traditions, costumes, festivals, and celebrations, further enhances its appeal to both domestic and international tourists.
Established in 1975, the Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC) takes the lead in fostering tourism throughout the state. Embodying the ethos of ‘Athi Devo Bhava,’ MTDC ensures exemplary hospitality in its 34 strategically located tourist accommodations. Renowned for its commitment to quality service, the corporation manages 27 restaurants and offers experiential activities such as Bed and Breakfast, Mahabhraman, Kalagram, Visitor Centers, and Eco Tourism.
MTDC’s array of accommodations includes beach resorts, hill resorts, jungle resorts, boat clubs, scuba diving, and water sports centers, catering to the varied interests of tourists. Notably, MTDC has introduced special initiatives for women tourists and entrepreneurs under the ‘Aai’ Gender Inclusive Tourism Policy, effective June 19, 2023.
As part of this policy, women can enjoy a 50% discount on the corporation’s premier accommodations for eight days, from March 1, 2024, to March 8, 2024, in celebration of International Women’s Day.
This initiative is spearheaded by Tourism Minister Girish Mahajan, guided by Secretary of Tourism Jayashree Bhoj, and overseen by MTDC Managing Director Shraddha Joshi Sharma. Additionally, a 50% discount for women is applicable for a total of 30 days, including the remaining 22 days of the year.
