Sustainable Development of Bihar Tourism

Abstract

The entrepreneurial opportunity is found in the different segments such as accommodation, recreation and entertainment, transportation, and travel services. Hotels, restaurants, tour operators, and travel agents have been providing direct business opportunities to people at different levels of the local community. Bihar is a land of enlightenment and salvation. Bihar occupied an important position in the early history of India. Bihar is the birthplace of two religions (i.e., Buddhism and Jainism) and the birthplace of Guru Govind Singh, the 10th guru of the Sikh religion. There are many holy places for Hindus and important places for the Gandhian movement. Bihar is rich in spiritual, heritage, cultural, and recreation places. The total share of tourism is 11.99% of Bihar SGDP and the 11th largest wage earner in revenue with $3.13 billion in 2017. Tourism is one of the economic areas where the entrepreneurial sector requires a high level of involvement: diversification of tourism products and services is required to meet the rising demand for new sorts of tourism demands.
