Which mission, presented to the tourism ministers, focuses on redistributing tourism demand to lesser-known destinations?
- A.Swadesh Darshan 2.0
- B.Dekho Apna Desh 2.0
- C.PRASHAD Scheme
- D.Incredible India 3.0
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Dekho Apna Desh 2.0. The presentation made to the regional meeting of North Eastern tourism ministers described it as the Mission for Redistribution of Tourism Demand and Promotion of Lesser-Known Destinations, whose purpose is to promote places that are ready to receive visitors as alternatives to the crowded centres that already draw the bulk of travel. Option A, Swadesh Darshan 2.0, option C, the PRASHAD Scheme, and option D, Incredible India 3.0, are not the programme named in this presentation, so all three are wrong. The other presentation of the day covered the National Digital Tourism Stack, a shared digital ecosystem meant to improve discoverability, enable online bookings and widen market access for guides, homestays and tourism entrepreneurs, while further sessions dealt with the live concert economy and with simplifying Restricted Area Permit and Protected Area Permit procedures in the region.
