Madhya Pradesh has received a good response from private investors in developing tourism and said it would invest Rs 170 crore for creating new facilities and promoting new destinations.

"The tourism policy of the MP government provides ample scope for the development of tourism infrastructure through private investment," said Chief General Manager (operations and marketing), MP Tourism O V Choudhary.

"There are also provisions for relaxation in stamp duty, luxury tax and entertainment tax," Choudhary said, adding the response from private sector was fairly good.

Encouraging the public-private model, where heritage properties were converted into hotels, he said, the state-owned Govindgarh palace of Rewa was leased out to be renovated into a hotel. 

Similarly, hotel Rahil in Khajuraho and a wayside amenity in Khalghat have been given to private players, he said.
