Identify focus locations for MTDC from a tourism

Identify important parameters for tourism
development at priority locations
Identify investments to be prioritized that have
maximum impact on Maharashtra tourism
66. 65
Robust methodology for selection of tourist destinations
Preparation of an
universe of tourist
destinations
1
We have
compiled a list of
232 locations on
the basis of
various reports.
These locations
represent tourism
destinations with
highest demand
and footfall.
Segregation into
hubs and spokes
2
The 232 locations
have been
divided into 64
hubs with their
associated
spokes.
The hubs and
spokes form a
geographically
contiguous set of
attractions for the
tourist, to be
promoted
together
Evaluation of
attractiveness based
on current infra and
potential for tourism
3
The hub and
spoke
combinations
were then
evaluated on the
basis on their
infrastructure and
tourism potential.
The locations
selected had low
infrastructure and
high tourism
potential.
Preparation of the
final list
4
A final list of 14
leisure locations
and 6 religious
locations
The locations
were determined
for investment
purposes.

Footfall numbers were validated across different dimensions
▪ Multiple sources have different
methodologies, hence different footfall
numbers (e.g., for Kolaba fort in Alibaug, AC
Neilson predicts 3,42,600 per annum while
ASI computes 42,445 for 2012-13)
▪ Need for standardizing the definition of
footfall (>4 hours visit for leisure/religious
activities)
Variation in data
sources
▪ Ministry of Tourism Statistics, District Tourism
Plan, Archeological survey of India (ASI), AC
Nielsen Reports, and IL&FS Reports have
different estimates
▪ Usually variation is from –50% to 100%
▪ Significant variation across weekly
footfalls due to fares, festivals,
conventions and summer season
▪ Normalized seasonal impact on the
footfall number
Variation from
seasonal impact
▪ Ram Navami festival at Sai Baba temple in
Shirdi , Sula festival in Nashik contribute to 50%
plus of Nashik footfalls
▪ Visitor can be classified into transit or non
transit type depending on their nature of
stayNature of visitor
