MP (Central India) National Park Tourism Year 2016 1st October 2016 Onward
The tourism in tiger reserves of Madhya Pradesh has been accorded a big boost thanks to friendly changes by the State Government.
The rates have been reduced and the charges for foreign visitors have been made same as that of Indian. The changes in rules and regulations are surely to enable more people to make incursions in the parks as well as at reduced cost (foreigners) on sharing basis for Indians
This is bound to draw greater number of tourists for tiger safari and birding. The conditions for jeep safari though seem complex will prevent tourists from turning back empty handed. This will certainly benefit the hotels industry as well as empower the locals with greater work and benefit sharing.
