Tourism Minister Launches Revamped Bihar Tourism Website: 165 Key Destinations Just a Click Away

Patna, July 2, 2025:
In a major step toward boosting tourism and enhancing visitor convenience, Bihar’s Tourism Minister Raju Kumar Singh launched the revamped official tourism website — www.tourism.bihar.gov.in — at the Directorate of Tourism auditorium in the main secretariat on Tuesday. Designed with new features and a user-friendly interface, the website offers comprehensive information on 165 major tourist destinations across the state, available in both Hindi and English.

The newly updated portal is aimed at tourists, researchers, and stakeholders in the tourism sector. It provides easy access to detailed insights about destinations, travel circuits, available facilities, and government-run tourism policies and schemes. A dedicated mobile application for the Bihar Tourism Department is also in development and will be released soon.

Speaking at the launch event, Minister Raju Kumar Singh highlighted the portal’s advanced features. A notable addition is the integration of the Geo-Visualizer (Geovisor), which visitors can download to get a virtual overview of the tourist sites and routes, helping them plan their travel more efficiently. “This will make it much easier for travelers to understand and access the various destinations,” he said.

The minister also announced that in the coming months, the portal will provide online access to application forms for various schemes including the Bihar Tourism Policy, Mukhyamantri Homestay Bed-to-Breakfast Incentive Scheme, and the recognition process for hotels and tour operators.

Tourism Secretary Lokesh Kumar Singh added that the website would serve as an interactive platform where users can submit feedback and suggestions to help improve services and resources. This aligns with the department’s broader mission of involving the public in shaping a more tourist-friendly Bihar.
