'Dekho Apna Desh, People's Choice 2024' is a nationwide poll by the government to engage with citizens to recognise the most preferred tourist attractions and understand tourist perceptions across five tourism categories: spiritual, nature and wildlife, cultural and heritage, adventure, and others.

The 'other' category allows one to vote for their favourite locations and help uncover hidden tourism gems, such as unexplored attractions and destinations like wellness tourism, vibrant border villages, wedding tourism etc.

The government also informed that five lucky participants (couple tickets) will win a trip on the luxurious Maharajas' Express.

"Through the initiative, the Ministry seeks to promote the preservation of cultural landmarks and traditions, ensuring their longevity for future generations. This will also allow the Ministry to understand lesser-known tourist locations that people would like to visit apart from the better-known popular attractions," the government said.
