Abstract:
Heritage tourism has grown into one of the world’s major industries and has thus also become increasingly important. Islamnagar, a fortified city was once a capital of Bhopal princely state for a brief period. It consists of rich heritage structures which has profound amalgamation of Mughal, Malwa and Rajput styles. Ijitima, a three-day religious congregation of Muslim community is held in Islamnagar village. Despite having strong potential for tourism, very little attention has been paid by the government authorities to boost tourism. This research aims to identify the issues in the existing tourism scenario with the help of primary survey of tourists and identify potential tourist spots like unexplored heritage structures and other untapped natural resource like Halali river. Finally, conclusions shall be drawn for the improvement of the tourism infrastructure. Further detailing can be done to prepare a detail tourism management plan for Islamnagar.
