Good earning from home stay
Given the increasing number of tourists, many Bhil tribal families have stepped into entrepreneurship. They are running homestay in Malipura area near Dhar. This is earning them. Dinesh Katare, a homestay owner, said that we are very excited about the upcoming tourism season. The training we received has empowered us to share our culture and hospitality with visitors. We are eager to welcome more guests in our home. More families in our village are planning to start homestay, so that their income can increase.
Benefits from rural tourism project
To prepare these families, the Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board trained in hospitality and various job roles under the Rural Tourism Project. Under this initiative, 100 villages across the state were identified.
