MP eyes development of mobile app for Simhastha 2028 visitors
Indore: Madhya Pradesh govt is developing a mobile application powered by artificial intelligence and advanced technologies to digitise operations and facilitate seamless coordination among various agencies during Simhastha 2028 in Ujjain. With over 14 crore devotees anticipated to attend the Simhastha in Ujjain, the app, currently under construction, will provide an unified platform for govt departments and millions of visitors expected to visit the temple city during the month long Simhastha. Sanjay Dubey, IAS, additional chief secretary of the department of science and technology, said, "Once the app is downloaded, users will navigate its features effortlessly through a search function, and it will be voice-enabled to cater to diverse linguistic needs. Whether a visitor is from Tamil Nadu requiring guidance in Tamil or a French speaker looking for assistance in their language, the app is equipped to serve them. " The team from Prayagraj was also invited by the Madhya Pradesh govt to present their experiences, challenges, successes, and planning strategies. The govt is also considering involving IITs, IIMs, and other reputed institutions in managing one of the world's largest gatherings. The govt plans to create a control room to monitor app data and provide real-time information about crowd dynamics. The mobile application will offer a plethora of features, including real-time updates on facility availability, accommodation options, parking slots, and detailed directions. Additionally, it will enable seamless bookings for Darshan and ashrams, covering every aspect from transportation and security to public amenities like toilets and routes. According to the MPSEDC department, the app will also act as a critical tool for ensuring safe navigation during the festival, determining the shortest route to their desired destination while indicating crowded areas and suggesting alternative paths. Furthermore, it will provide updates on the availability and condition of nearby toilets and water facilities. "Insights from user data will help predict crowd movements, ultimately enhancing safety and efficiency. A dedicated team of approximately 30 engineers is currently working on the project, with plans to expand to over 100 as the development progresses," said Dubey.

Hotels rake in moolah as Indians hit the road for impulsive trips
NEW DELHI: A room at Pilibhit House-IHCL SeleQtions hotel in Uttarakhand's Haridwar this month or the next costs more than Rs 30,000 per night, according to an online travel platform. Despite the high price tag, the boutique hotel is experiencing a "significant" rise in last-minute, and impromptu bookings, said hotel manager Vikas Nagar. He said improved highway infrastructure is encouraging more travellers to choose Haridwar, situated on the banks of the Ganges, for a short, and drivable getaway. A rising number of Indians are taking to self-driving trips and road trips not just domestically but overseas as well. Rajesh Magow , co-founder and group CEO of MakeMyTrip said the interesting shift being observed in leisure travel by road in recent times is the emergence of newer demand centres near metro hubs across the country. Road connectivity is improving every year, effectively bringing destinations closer with reduced driving hours, he said, adding while Jaipur and Agra continue to attract travellers from Delhi, the driving time to destinations like Dehradun, Rishikesh and Ajmer has 'significantly' reduced. "Similarly, while Mysuru remains a popular choice from Bengaluru, destinations such as Coorg, Wayanad, and Kabini have become more accessible due to improved connectivity, and the reduced driving time to Nagpur from Mumbai has also made it easier to plan road trips to Nashik and the Vidarbha region." Radisson Hotel Group is witnessing a steady uptick in bookings at its properties located within a comfortable driving distance from major cities, particularly in destinations like Karjat, Shimla, Lonavala, Mussoorie, and Saputara, said Nikhil Sharma, MD and COO of South Asia. The trend is not limited to India alone. Romil Pant, VP and head of holidays at Thomas Cook (India) said Australia, New Zealand, and the UK are emerging as key preferences not just for dramatic landscapes but also for the ease they offer Indian travellers with right-hand driving and English road signages. He said customers are increasingly combining stretches like Australia's Great Ocean Road or New Zealand's South Island circuits with stays in boutique vineyard estates, countryside lodges and national park accommodations. "These itineraries often include multiple stops, such as wine regions like Hunter and Barossa, scenic detours into rainforest zones or geothermal sites." S.D. Nandakumar, president and country head of holidays and corporate tours at SOTC Travel said wider availability of intuitive navigation apps, digital mapping, and road-trip platforms has also increased comfort in self-navigated travel. Despite some core areas of Ranthambore being closed to travellers currently, the Bookmark Resorts Jogi Mahal Ranthambore was fully occupied last weekend, said Ashish Vohra, cofounder and CEO of Justa Hotels & Resorts.
