Tourists visiting popular monuments and museums in Jaipur went up 50% in October compared to September. However, tourist footfalls in the rest of Rajasthan increased marginally.
Senior tourist officials said that most of these visitors were local people and tourist numbers were higher in Jaipur compared to other locations in the state. In October, eight monuments in the Pink City including the Amber Fort, Jantar Mantar, Hawa Mahal, Albert Hall and Nahargarh witnessed 85,390 tourists compared to 56,931 in September.
After opening post lockdown, these eight tourist spots received visitors collectively.
Mugdha Sinha, secretary (art and culture), said, “Our footfalls are increasing month-on-month even in these difficult times as monuments continue to serve as a safe option for unwinding.” Senior officials at other monuments in Jaipur said that the boost in domestic tourism would help pick up tourist numbers.
