How does Udaipur benefit from its culture and tourism?
Chosen as the ones of the best tourist cities in the world, Udaipur has always had a rich history of tourists coming in to explore the alluring place covered by lakes and the stupendous Aravali Range. In the year of 2019 alone, the city had 11,85,606 visitors, which is almost double the amount of the city’s population, according to Rajasthan Tourism Board’s numbers. The “Travel+Leisure” magazine even called it “the most beautiful city in the world”. The Tourism industry of Udaipur is about a 1000-crore industry that employs about 10,000 people of Udaipur. But how is the tourism industry alone employing such a huge number of people? The simple answer to this question lies in the fact that Udaipur has always had a distinct culture of exceptional hospitality, which makes Udaipur one of the best tourist destinations. Having always seen their city in movies, newspapers and photographs alike, the common folk have come to speak the language of warmth and generosity that stays with tourists. Hence, the name “City of Love”. But apart from very kind people who have stuck to their roots and their culture, it is also the various authorities that majorly help to keep the city safe, green and clean for everyone. All of this makes the city pass with flying colours and beautifully blends in Udaipur’s traditions and cultures. Let’s take a look how:
- Having one of the most beautiful lakes and palaces in the world, the city remains in everyone’s hearts as it gives people a plethora of options to roam around, and this in turn generates greater revenue giving a major boost to the historical spots that are well preserved and maintained.
- Being connected to its roots has given a historical advantage to the city. Even taking a stroll in the old city will tell you a lot about the town, and just half an hour of boat rides will lift your soul up.
- Udaipur also has a number of adventure sports as well – from paragliding to trekking, which more and more people are taking up as their profession as well in the past few years, giving a considerable boost to its tourism revenue.
- Udaipur is well-connected to other major cities in India and has an international airport, which makes it easy for international tourists to reach. It’s also pretty easy to get around the city with the auto-rickshaws and public transport. You can also avail cabs, both offline and online, making travelling within the city convenient and hassle-free.
