The city of Ayodhya is going through a major change, where the construction of a grand Ram temple is almost complete. Millions of people across the country have started preparing to visit this spiritual place. This is evident from the fact that according to hotel booking platform OYO, there has been a tremendous increase in hotel searches and bookings in Ayodhya. The founder of the platform has informed that people have shown interest in Ayodhya even before Goa and Nainital, one of the most popular travel destinations in India.

OYO founder Ritesh Agarwal has informed through a post on X that Ayodhya has seen an impressive 70% increase in OYO app users. This huge increase has surpassed the growth seen in popular tourist destinations like Goa (50%) and Nainital (60%). In his tweet, Agarwal wrote, (translated) ‘Holy places are now India’s favourite destinations! Ayodhya saw a 70% increase in OYO app users compared to Goa (50%) and Nainital (60%). Spiritual tourism will be one of the biggest growth drivers of the tourism industry in the next 5 years.’

Ayodhya is witnessing a breathtaking transformation as excitement for the inauguration of the Ram Mandir grows. With the beginning of the consecration rituals on January 16, 2024, tourism in the city has increased. Eager devotees are thronging to witness the historic seven-day process that will culminate with the installation of Shri Ram in the temple on January 22.

On Saturday, PM Modi took a significant step by inaugurating the Maharishi Valmiki International Airport, opening doors to enhanced connectivity and economic opportunities. The momentous occasion also saw the launch of ambitious development programmes worth an astonishing Rs 15,700 crore, aimed at improving Ayodhya’s infrastructure, amenities and tourism facilities.

Prime Minister Modi has flagged off two special trains – Vande Bharat and Amrut Bharat. These high-speed trains will connect Delhi and Darbhanga directly to Ayodhya, making travel more comfortable and efficient for pilgrims and tourists.
