Rashtrapati Bhavan to open three new tourist circuits
New Delhi, Jun 30 (IBNS): The President's Secretariat announced on Thursday that three tourists circuits in the Rashtrapati Bhavan premises will be inaugurated on July 25, 2016.
Omita Paul, Secretary to President Pranab Mukherjee, met 24 leading tour operators at Rashtrapati Bhavan on Thursday to give details regarding the three tourist circuits that are being developed within Rashtrapati Bhavan.
The three new tourist circuits will be the Rashtrapati Bhavan main building, museums and the gardens which the visitors can see separately or together.
Addressing the tour operators, Omita Paul said the Rashtrapati Bhavan is looking forward to serving as a major tourist destination. She asked them to create greater awareness and attract visitors from both India and abroad.
Omita Paul said that since the beginning of the 13th Presidency in July 2012, President Pranab Mukherjee has been aiming to demystify every aspect of Rashtrapati Bhavan and bring it closer to the general public. It was important as many people as possible have the opportunity to view this great monument of living heritage.
Visitors to Rashtrapati Bhavan will be able to book and pay for their visits online. In addition to the Rashtrapati Bhavan building, now two museum complexes and beautifully manicured gardens of Rashtrapati Bhavan will be added to the tourist circuits.
