UP Minister: Homestays to Boost Tourism, Offer Affordable Stays
The Uttar Pradesh government is encouraging residents to turn their homes into homestays.
This allows people to rent out rooms to tourists, creating more affordable accommodation options compared to hotels.
The new policy, called Uttar Pradesh Bed & Breakfast (B&B) and Homestay Policy 2025, is designed to make it easier for people to register their homes for homestays.
The goal is to provide more choices for tourists and give locals an opportunity to earn extra money.
The Tourism Minister expects about 800 homestays to be established in Lucknow.
Financial incentives are also available to encourage people to participate, and to boost tourism.
Uttar Pradesh's Tourism Department encourages homestays under the new policy.
The policy aims to provide affordable lodging options for tourists.
Residents can register 1-6 rooms as homestays.
The Uttar Pradesh Tourism Department expects around 800 homestays in Lucknow.
Financial incentives are offered to encourage participation in the policy.
