Ranchi, June 8: In order to promote the tourist places of Jharkhand at an international level, the Tourism Department is planning to hire a professional agency. The agency will be responsible for promoting Jharkhand Tourism.
The last day to select the agency is June 23. Earlier too, there have been many such agencies that have been hired to promote tourism. However, their work hasn’t been good as Jharkhand is not yet known to many people from different states. The promotion of tourism has been bad in the past.
There is no analytic data with the tourism department which can demonstrate the number of tourists who have visited Jharkhand in the earlier years.
The Tourism department has released a tender with regard to the hiring of agencies and the companies who are interested can submit their Request for proposal (RPF) by June 23. The further process will take place after that. The previous government had hired the multinational firm Ernst and Young India for the promotion.
They had also hired Prabhatam Company earlier as its consultants to bring the tourism department of Jharkhand on a national level. Crores of rupees were given to those agencies but the tourism department is unable to tell any authentic data of what the old company has done.
