The Ministry of Tourism launched a new mobile application that will give domestic and international travellers access to government-recognised tourism service providers and details about places of interest on the go.
Developed by the National Informatics Centre, the ‘Incredible India App’ will allow the details to be shared on the tourist’s mobile phone or phone-based device depending on his or her current location in the country, the ministry said.
It will give them access to information about government- recognised tourism service providers, namely approved inbound tour operators, adventure tour operators, domestic tour operators, tourist transport operators, travel agents, regional level guides, classified hotels available in respective cities and tourist centres.
“This mobile application has been developed as part of the initiative of the new government in taking important and positive decisions, especially, affecting the general public since its taking over the charge. “The application demonstrates Ministry of Tourism’s commitment to the use of technology for service delivery,” Secretary, Tourism, Parvez Dewan, said at the launch of the application.
Tourists can also query details for any other city they plan to travel to in future. In addition to this, the application will provide places of interest. The application is available for the Android device on the Google Play store and for iPhones this will be made available on Apple Store in the coming week.
