Rajasthan Tourism Shifts Focus to Mid-Market and Rural Experiences
What happened
Tourism in Rajasthan is shifting toward mid-market options, with high-cost luxury wedding alternatives now available for between ₹35-70 lakh. This trend was highlighted at the Rajasthan Domestic Travel Mart in Jaipur, where 41 wedding planners participated. Additionally, approximately ₹3,000 crore worth of tourism projects have moved into the implementation stage.
Why it matters
The state is targeting the mass-premium and mid-market segment, which is projected to account for an estimated 45 percent of Rajasthan’s hotel pipeline between FY26 and FY30. Industry experts believe this expansion will boost appeal for weddings, leisure travel, and MICE, attracting visitors from southern and eastern India.
Rajasthan is currently promoting itself for solo and rural tourism, emphasizing heritage experiences, palace stays, and traditional cuisine.
