BSTDC to provide facility for online tour bookings

Bihar State Tourism Development Corporation (BSTDC) is working on a plan to provide the tourists the facility to book their tours online. BSTDC will contact travel agencies functioning in different parts of the country and will be provided with information about private hotels, tour guides and transport service providers available at different tourist locations in Bihar. BSTDC will simultaneously empanel these transport service providers so that they can be linked with the travel agencies. The agencies will then accept bookings from tourists willing to avail these services.

According to a report in www.telegraphindia.com, details of all the empanelled travel agencies and other service providers would be uploaded on the BSTDC website (http://bstdc.bih.nic.in) so that tourists can access information about this service without any difficulty.

Currently, BSTDC provides on-line booking facility only for its hotels and all other arrangements such as taxis have to be made
