Jharkhand Tourism will reportedly launch a mobile App and a web portal by end of April this year. The App will have a comprehensive database of state hotels and tour operators, both private and run by Jharkhand Tourism Development Corporation (JTDC) and will enable tourists to book rooms and tours on the go.

 “The App and website will provide up-to-date information on the status of rooms available to the tourists on website and through mobile app, of which would be available for both Android and iOS platforms. We would also consider introducing discounts to the customers on the lines of private players after reviewing its performance later in the year,” said Rajeev Raja, Managing Director, JTDC. 

 

Revenue for the government in terms of commission will also be generated through the app on bookings done by tourists in private hotels. Both the website and App will have an integrated payment gateway for instantaneous booking. The department is also planning to offer discounts to travellers during the off season to ensure maximum occupancy of hotel and dormitory rooms. The decision to launch a new web portal and website was taken during a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Raghubar Das in September last year.
