Reviving rural tourism in Punjab

G-20 Summit is an excellent opportunity to support rural tourism in Punjab

The presidency of G-20 is a unique opportunity for India to show global leadership and will have made the world realize the theme ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’. In Punjab, the heritage holy city of Amritsar is all set to host a G-20 meeting during 15-17 March on education and 19-20 March on labour. As a part of the G20 summit, Punjab has also an opportunity to showcase its rich heritage, must explore the potential of its rural tourism and position itself as a major tourist destination. In previous G-20 summits, various host countries have also shown their unique food, culture and heritage being eternal parts of international diplomacy that transcend boundaries and barriers.

Punjabis are robust and are renowned for their warmth and hospitality, and should strive to give an impetus to our rich culture, craft and cuisine. The swaying green fields of Punjab would welcome the world’s most powerful countries leaders who are representing 85 per cent of the world’s gross domestic product (GDP), 75 per cent of global trade and 66 per cent of the world population, making it the premier forum for international economic cooperation.

Among G-20 countries like the US, and European Union and South Africa rural tourism practices continue to be popular. The seeds of rural tourism were first sown by an Italian National Legal Framework passed in 1985.

Villages of Punjab are rich in tradition and cultural heritage but unfortunately due to economic distress, the younger rural generation migrates abroad. To overcome problems like lack of social recognition and respect, lack of adequate farm income, etc. the young generations are not willing to take up agriculture as a profession. Thus, the time has come for the policymakers to successfully harness the potential of rural tourism as a policy, promotional activities and incentives for an agriculturist-entrepreneur to set up a functional farm for the recreational purpose of visitors. It can be seen as an additional and sustainable source of income for the rural population with the existing resources they have.

Punjab having rich holy heritage sites need linkage with rural tourism in all three cultural/geographical regions. In Majha, Sachkhand Sri Darbar Sahib at Amritsar- witnesses maximum tourists, in the Malwa region Sri Muktsar and Sri Fatehgarh Sahib and Sri Anandpur Sahib and Sri Chamkaur Sahib in Doaba region lie between rivers Ravi, Beas, Satluj and Ghaghar and Ranjit Sagar Dam are the most rejoiced destinations in India. Farms all over Punjab exemplify the simplicity, Wetland Hari-Ke-Pattan and Wild sanctuaries Harike and Shiwalik ranges are natural wonders as well as calmness and refreshment to the core.

Punjab Heritage and Tourism Promotion Board(PHTPB) initiated the Farm Tourism Scheme in 2013 to promote rural tourism and farms for the home stay but it is not more than some guidelines and did not scale up at large due to a lack of rural-tourism policy having a holistic approach. Out of the total of 13,006 villages, there are only 43 rural tourism sites registered with PHTPB and nine villages were selected for the Rural Tourism Cluster scheme of the government of India, which need more to be explored and developed as there is an imbalance in the distribution of these sites. Out of 43, there are 29 rural tourism sites in the periphery of Chandigarh's neighbouring districts of Mohali, Ropar, Patiala and Fatehgarh Sahib. On the other hand, there are 11 districts(Half of Punjab) that do not have even a single rural tourism site through a national strategy on rural tourism that has been approved based on an overarching theme of sustainable and responsible tourism. 

 For the farmers, it is not only a brand new source of income but also much easier than planting and harvesting crops. The new income comes without the frustrations of irregular weather, volatile prices and fear of droughts, pests and plant disease, but there are some significant barriers due to the lack of familiarity with tourist expectations. The transition from traditional agriculture to rural tourism is quite a challenge for the farmers. At least in all 148 blocks, PHTPB should create Rural Tourism Clusters and do it in the community by using some Panchayat funds to create lodging, food and safari for tourists. Policy and subsidies directly targeting rural tourism are important and equally necessary for the sound utilization of local resources and the creation of essential services for tourists in a specific region to increase rural income. Thus farmers can turn their farmlands parallel into tourist destinations and open their doors to tourists to share more about what they do. This innovative nature of resilient, sustainable, inclusive and responsible tourism, is focused on safe mobility, crisis management, resilience, inclusiveness, green transformation, digital transition, investment and infrastructure in rural areas.

Huge potential for farm and eco tourism, need to tap it: experts

CEO of Kikkar Lodge, Amarindar Singh Chopra said that Punjab has had a revered relationship with nature reserves and these reserves are important for co-existence of mankind and wildlife as well as aqua culture in the state.

With vast farmlands and agriculture being the backbone of Punjab, the first Tourism Summit and Travel Mart emphasised how the state can tap the potential of farm tourism and educate the farmers to set up farm tourism spots across the state.

During a special session, the speakers highlighted the state’s rich agricultural heritage and natural beauty, making it an ideal destination for eco and farm tourism enthusiasts.

Moderator Prasad Rebbapragada said that the aim should be to promote lesser-known destinations for eco-tourism and adventure tourism experiences.

Founder of Citrus County Harkirat Singh Ahluwalia said that farmstays and homestays have become popular choices for those seeking authentic cultural encounters. He said that the tourists want to spend vacations in peaceful areas in the contemporary world and the state has witnessed the same. He also informed that farm tourism creates jobs for women too.

Pandurang Taware, an agri-tourism innovator said that it has the potential to increase farmers’ income manifold. He also stressed on promoting woman farmers and identifying potential of agriculture tourism.

However, travel writer Bindu Gopal Rao said that after the pandemic, lifestyle of people changed comprehensively, and everyone is aware about environmental sustainability. She said that the state has immense potential in eco-tourism.

Sharing his experience, founder of Hansali Organic Farm Pavial Gill said that the state has enormous prospective in farm stay tourism but the connectivity with last mile is very much important in this regard.

Tourists flocked to the hills and mountains of North India to escape the heat, causing overcrowding at popular spots like the Gucchupani Cave. A viral video of a packed picnic spot sparked backlash on social media, raising concerns about the negative impact of tourism on fragile environments. Safety issues were also brought to light due to the influx of visitors.

Budget 2024-25: punjab plans rs842bn for development.

LAHORE: The Maryam Nawaz Sharif-led Punjab government presented its inaugural budget on Thursday, unveiling a historic annual development plan (ADP) totalling Rs842 billion.

This figure includes a foreign aid component of Rs106.167bn and is 28 per cent higher than the previous year’s Rs655bn.

In his budget speech, Finance Minister Mujtaba Shuja highlighted that 100pc cash cover is available for the ADP, reflecting the government’s “revolutionary” five-year priorities. The ADP allocates 33pc to the social sector, 29pc to infrastructure, 13pc to production, and 5pc to the services sector, whereas 20pc has been earmarked for special initiatives and other programmes.

A sum of Rs394.4bn, almost half of the total ADP, has been allocated for ongoing schemes and Rs404.41bn for new projects.

Another significant feature of the ADP is that almost all sectors include chief minister’s special initiatives like Rs45bn for the agriculture sector, Rs20bn for urban development, Rs9bn for primary healthcare, Rs8.5bn for roads, Rs4bn for Roshan gharana (solar scheme), Rs4bn for sports and youth affairs, Rs5.2bn for fisheries, Rs7bn for livestock, and Rs5bn for tourism (Murree development, etc).

Almost half of ADP allocated for ongoing schemes

The social sector receives Rs280bn, including Rs45bn in foreign aid. Of this, education is allocated Rs65.5bn, with Rs45bn for school education, Rs15bn for higher education, and Rs6bn for special and non-formal education. A new scheme, the CM’s school meal plan, receives Rs500 million.

Major road projects are Muzaffargarh-Tarinda Muhammad Panah (Rs31.48bn), Multan-Vehari (Rs13bn), and Burewala-Vehari (Rs12bn).

The irrigation department gets Rs25.8bn, of which Rs9.2bn is foreign aid, mostly for the ongoing water channel improvement schemes.

At least Rs30bn has been apportioned to restore public buildings and Rs40.5bn for urban development, including a foreign component of Rs9.15bn, while only Rs7.5bn has been given to the energy sector.

Total allocation for the production sectors — agriculture, forestry, wildlife, fisheries, food, livestock, industries and commerce/investment, mines and minerals, and tourism — is Rs107.85bn, including Rs13.46bn foreign aid.

The agriculture sector gets Rs64.6bn, including Rs11.8bn foreign aid. A major share (Rs45.25bn) goes to the CM’s initiative, mainly for the Kisan Card package under which 0.5m farmers will be given interest-free loans worth Rs75bn.

Wicklow holiday park applies to build open farm project

A planning application has been lodged with Wicklow County Council for the development of an open farm project at Millrace Holiday Park in Ballynacarrig, Brittas Bay.

Lodged by Tanark PLC (n/a), the proposal consists of a farm diversification tourism accommodation and open farm project, incorporating a full masterplan and landscaping scheme on a 6.76-hectare site.

The development will include open farm visitor areas with farm sheds, comprising a 50 sqm petting shed, pens, paddocks, play areas, and garden connecting to the existing/proposed accommodation by a ‘farm link trail’,

Guest facilities at the farm yard cluster will feature an entry building (44 sqm), including a farm shop, coffee dock and reception, as well as a communal shelter (88 sqm) meeting area for picnics and BBQs.

There will also be a guest amphitheatre and farm food building (100 sqm) with a kitchen, catering and self-catering area, and communal dining areas with associated storage and toilets.

The expansive plans include the development of 12 ‘Hobbit type’ subterranean glamping pods and the part demolition/re-use/part renovation and extension of an existing farmhouse and buildings to create four holiday units (one one-bed, two two-beds and one three-bed) with a first floor balcony.

Four shepherd huts will be sited around a pond accessed by walkways, with the upgrading of existing farm entrances onto the L5605 and walls/pillars and security gates to serve scheme vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.

New sections of an internal road, footpaths (including the ‘farm link trail’), vehicle and bike parking areas, including disabled and EV charging spaces and connections to the existing Millrace Holiday Park are also proposed.

There have been four previous planning applications lodged on the site, with the latest (2022) seeking permission for a storage shed for the existing park, and an extension to include seven new caravan and mobile spaces, which was granted by An Bord Pleanála following an appeal against Wicklow County Council’s initial decision to refuse planning.

A decision on the latest application is due to be made by Wicklow County Council by August 13. Submissions can be made up until July 23.
