VISION TOURISM 2020 - Aurangabad District

2. DEVELOPMENT OF LOCAL ECONOMY
Tourism empowers people, triggers local economy, alleviates poverty and raises the standard
of living. The development of local economy through Tourism spending is not determined or as such
is scattered or in other terms the benefactors are not evenly spread. A major analysis reveals that the
Rural Heritage should have done that but instead the multiplier in economic terms seems to be
centrel at Aurangabad.
3. PROLONGING THE TOURIST STAY
Observations have been made by all the working group on Tourism that the average stay for
visitors/Tourists to the District is that of 1 ½ day. A prolonged stay of the Tourist results into higher
spending thus boosting the economy. The gap is the result of non-availability of New products in
Tourism in terms of inadequate information, accessibility, nothing beyond Ajanta and Ellora mindset
as well as non availability of modern engagements for the Tourist like entertainment and shopping.
4. TOURIST EXPERIENCE
Perhaps the biggest of all, with and unclean township and smelly Bus stations Railway
Stations and Tourist places.
• A Welcome feeling to the city is another gap as people tend to be less aware of tourisms
magic.
• Non professional handling of tourist except that in the organized sector of the Hotel Industry.
5. SAFETY, SECURITY, COMFORT
