The project development objective is to improve living standards and increase income opportunities for the poor population living in/and close to the primary tourism attractions of the Buddhist Circuit and the Braj-Agra Corridor. The project will also assist the Government of Uttar Pradesh to restructure its tourism sector in a pro-poor manner by (i) providing public services to poor communities living in some of the state’s heritage rich, but lagging areas, (ii) enhancing the management of the state’s natural and cultural assets as endogenous sources of inclusive development, and (iii) enabling private sector investments and associated job creation( e.g. for youth and women). The project is expected to inform policymakers in other states while responding to the Indian Ministry of Tourism’s request for a demonstration project on pro-poor tourism policies and investments. Concept completed on 4 November 2014. Environmental Assessment Category A. Project: P146936. US$210.0 (IBRD). Consulting services to be determined.
