Our Core Services

Strategic Development Plans & DPRs (Detailed Project Reports)

We specialize in creating comprehensive, ground-level tourism development plans tailored to the unique identity of each region. Our consulting process includes destination mapping, tourism circuit development, stakeholder engagement, and policy alignment with local government bodies.

  • In-depth district audits
  • Tourism potential identification (nature, culture, adventure, etc.)
  • Phase-wise strategy with measurable KPIs
  • Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) aligned with sustainable practices
  • Blueprint for infrastructure, branding, capacity building, and marketing

Ideal For: Government departments, district administrations, tourism boards, and private eco-developers.

Roads, Toilets, Homestays, Campsites — the foundation of tourism

No destination can thrive without solid, sustainable infrastructure. Our planning focuses on low-footprint development that blends into the ecosystem and benefits the local community.

  • Access roads, parking zones, and entry points
  • Eco-friendly public toilets (rural, cost-effective, water-efficient)
  • Campsites in offbeat scenic locations with tribal community management
  • Homestay structure planning using local materials
  • Waste management systems and village illumination

We don’t just suggest — we walk the terrain, engage locals, and co-create infrastructure that lasts.

Empowering SHGs to be tourism entrepreneurs

We believe the best hosts are the people who live there. That’s why we help form and train Self-Help Groups (SHGs) in tribal and rural communities to run homestays and campsites.

  • Identification and renovation plans for host homes
  • Hospitality training for hosts: food, etiquette, guest engagement
  • Capacity building on hygiene, logistics, and basic finance
  • Eco-camps managed by local youth trained in tourism operations
  • Revenue-sharing models and pricing strategy guidance

Your guests don’t just visit—they connect, learn, and belong.

Changing how the world sees your destination

We help erase outdated stereotypes and build fresh narratives that celebrate the real story of your region. Through compelling storytelling and on-ground engagement, we elevate lesser-known destinations to aspirational travel experiences.

  • Strategic communication & content calendar
  • Public awareness campaigns to counter stigma (e.g., Naxal region perception)
  • Creative campaigns like “Dekho Bastar” and “Amcho Bastar”
  • Influencer and media outreach (videos, blogs, PR)
  • Event-driven brand awareness (melas, summits, heritage walks)

It’s not just branding—it’s identity reclamation for places and people.

Designing and managing unforgettable experiences

From tribal festivals to eco-tourism summits, we bring event visions to life with deep-rooted local flair and seamless execution. We blend logistics with cultural authenticity to deliver tourism events that inspire.

  • Concept design for cultural festivals, summits, exhibitions
  • Artist & vendor coordination (tribal performers, artisans, food vendors)
  • Production of promotional films and photography
  • Permits, budgeting, and stakeholder coordination
  • Impact reporting and media amplification

Let us turn your regional event into a national talking point.

Efficient use of limited human and financial resources

We understand that district administrations often work with constrained budgets and staff. Our resource planning services help you achieve maximum impact with optimal resource allocation.

  • Budget forecasting for tourism masterplans
  • Strategic prioritization of investments (infrastructure vs. capacity vs. promotion)
  • Phased development timelines
  • Collaboration models with NGOs, SHGs, and private partners
  • Guidance on leveraging CSR funds, grants, and schemes

Smart planning leads to sustainable outcomes, both financially and socially.
