Stepping forward to Joint tourism

If you visit Mount Abu and then, want to drive down to Gujarat, you will not be required to contact tour operators in Gujarat separately.A person coming to a tour operator in Rajasthan is offered a joint package. Once he takes up the package, the operator in Rajasthan takes care of the tourist till he is in their state and later, hands over the tourist to their counterpart in Gujarat who further plans his tour

You can contact either the Gujarat Tourism department or the Rajasthan Tourism department to assist you to make arrangement for you irrespective of the state you want to visit, thanks to promotion of interstate tourism!

In order to bring in tourists to Gujarat, and to market its sight seeing places, the state tourism department has entered into a pact with Rajasthan, Karnataka and Punjab for interstate tourism.
It has already started selling North Gujarat with Rajasthan. The department is promoting Shamlaji, Kesariyaji, Udaipur, Chittorgadh, Haldighati, Nathdwara, Charbhuja, Ranakpura, Mount Abu in Rajasthan along with Ambaji, Kumbharia, Modhera, Bahucharaji in Gujarat.The state has already entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Rajasthan and Karnataka for interstate tourists and also Punjab, which has a large number of NRI visitors and tourists, from Rajasthan the state would be targeting foreign tourists, from Punjab the department will target religious tourists.Signing the MOU is in the interest of the state. 



Rajasthan has been promoting Gir and the effect is that schools from Rajasthan have visited Gir for watching the Asiatic lions. Tourists coming to Rajasthan come for heritage tourism and the operators offer Gir, Somnath and Buddha tourists together.
