a. The quality of visitor experience will be enhanced, Higher growth rate of visitors and Higher rents and shared revenue
b. Ajanta being the oldest Buddhist cave temple, so promoting it on the world map, will help in including our ancient historic city in the national and internal Buddhist circuit.
c. Ajanta and Ellora would be pilgrimage destinations because they were involved in the life of Buddha. Moreover, pilgrimage is a niche market in Japan and other East Asian countries; therefore, promoting Ajanta and Ellora as a Buddhist pilgrimage site is very important.
d. This will provide great employment opportunities to many people in the city and rural area.
e. However, the concept of World Heritage Corridor or Buddhist Circuit is important for Ajanta and Ellora because it has the potential to be a new tour route that connects Ajanta and Ellora with other tourism sites like Bodhgaya, Kushinagar Sanchi, Mandu, and Nasik. In this context, Maharashtra Tourism should strengthen the relationship with other States to promote visitor flow between the two states.
We request for your kind support for this noble cause and join with us in our journey of legacy preservation, looking forward to hearing positive feedback.
