After the grand inauguration of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya this week, the region is gearing up for a substantial increase in tourist activity. Anticipating the surge, local businesses and the tourism sector are making preparations to accommodate the influx of visitors.
The opening of the historic Ram Temple is expected to draw pilgrims and tourists from various parts of the country and beyond. Devotees will now have the opportunity to visit the revered site, contributing to a boost in tourism and economic activity in the region.
Investments in the tourism sector have already seen a significant uptick, with reports indicating a substantial investment of INR 49,000 crore during the Uttar Pradesh Global Investors Summit in 2023. Major players in the hospitality industry, such as the Taj Group and Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL), have expressed interest in exploring investment opportunities in Ayodhya.
In the wake of the temple inauguration, sectors like hospitality, travel, and aviation are poised for growth. Aviation services to Ayodhya, initiated by companies like Praveg Air and SpiceJet, are expected to elevate the city’s prominence as a global aviation hub. The introduction of 1,000 train services by Indian Railways further solidifies Ayodhya’s connectivity.
Online travel platforms, including Easemytrip, Thomas Cook, and Yatra Online, are gearing up to facilitate travel arrangements for the increasing number of tourists expected to visit Ayodhya. As the city braces for this historic moment, it not only marks a spiritual milestone but also presents significant economic opportunities across various sectors.
