The Delhi government is considering relaunching the “Bed and Breakfast” scheme and is studying Goa’s policy. This scheme provides affordable home-like accommodation and meals to local residents by offering financial incentives. The scheme is set to be revamped and relaunched.
The Delhi government is considering restarting the ‘Bed and Breakfast’ (B&B) scheme. The Delhi government is studying Goa’s policy in this regard. Since the launch of the Delhi government’s ‘Bed and Breakfast’ scheme, more than 2,200 rooms in 432 homes in the national capital were registered under it by 2023. An official said, “This scheme was discontinued and now we are considering restarting this scheme. We are studying Goa ‘s ‘Homestay and Bed and Breakfast’ policy to see how we can adopt some of its points.”
What is the purpose of this scheme
Under this scheme, financial incentives and assistance will be provided to local people running homestays in remote areas. The official said, “Goa’s policy for homestays has been praised for generating business. In a report, NITI Aayog also recommended that other states adopt Goa’s policy for homestays.”
The scheme was launched in 2007 and was later discontinued.
Launched in 2007, the Delhi government registered people wishing to convert their homes into bed and breakfast units within 30 days. The scheme provides affordable home-like accommodation and meals to visitors. “The bed and breakfast scheme had several flaws,” the official said. “We plan to reconsider it.”
