The Karnataka Government is planning to develop the ‘Namma Guide’ website and mobile application as part of efforts to strengthen the state’s tourism ecosystem and improve visitor experiences. The proposed platform will serve as a comprehensive digital guide, providing travellers with information on attractions, itineraries, accommodations, transportation, and local experiences.
The initiative is expected to support Karnataka’s tourism growth strategy by offering a centralized source of destination information while making travel planning easier for domestic and international visitors. Officials believe the platform will help showcase the state’s diverse tourism offerings, including heritage, wildlife, coastal, wellness, and adventure experiences.
Industry stakeholders have welcomed the proposal, noting that digital tools are becoming increasingly important in destination marketing and visitor engagement. The platform is expected to improve accessibility to tourism information while promoting lesser-known destinations across the state.
The development of Namma Guide forms part of Karnataka’s broader efforts to leverage technology in tourism promotion and destination management. Once launched, the platform is expected to strengthen visitor engagement, support local tourism businesses, and contribute to the state’s long-term tourism growth objectives.
