In a bid to boost tourism in the country, the government has come out with a very creative approach which might cheer travel enthusiasts. The Ministry of Tourism has decided to reward travelers who visit at least 15 tourists spots in the country in a year with the Dekho Apna Desh campaign. Union Tourism Minister Prahalad Patel Singh said, "The tourism ministry will fund the travel expenses of tourists who visit 15 destinations in the country in a year and submit the photos on our website.” However, he clarified that the move should not be considered as a monetary benefit, but as an incentive.
