New Delhi, July 24, 2025 — In a move that marks a major leap in India’s tourism modernization efforts, the Ministry of Tourism has launched a completely revamped Incredible India digital platform (IIDP). This upgraded portal serves as a one stop destination for travelers, tourism service providers, and stakeholders aiming to explore and experience the vast cultural, historical, and ecological wealth of India.
A Smarter and More Personalized Tourism Experience
The Incredible India digital platform has now been embedded with cutting edge AI powered tools that revolutionize how domestic and international tourists plan and enjoy their trips. Users can access personalized experiences, from real time weather updates to dynamic recommendations for city explorations, local attractions, and curated travel itineraries.
What sets this version of the IIDP apart is its customization engine, which adapts suggestions based on user interests, current location, and travel goals. Whether a backpacker wants to discover offbeat paths or a luxury traveler seeks heritage resorts, the Incredible India digital platform caters to all.
Integration with OTAs and Seamless Booking Features
The portal now offers seamless integration with leading OTAs (Online Travel Agents) to allow users to book hotels, flights, cabs, buses, and even entry tickets to ASI protected monuments all from a single unified dashboard. This ensures a smoother, more efficient experience for tourists, eliminating the need for multiple platforms and apps.
Through this integration, travelers can compare rates, read reviews, and make payments for all services under one roof. Additionally, the platform supports regional languages to boost inclusivity and accessibility across India.
Empowering Tourism Stakeholders via NIDHI+
The Incredible India digital platform also connects with NIDHI+ (National Integrated Database of Hospitality Industry Plus) a robust backend system designed for the registration, approval, and classification of tourism units and service providers.
This facilitates transparent recognition and certification processes for:
- Hotels and accommodations
- Tour operators
- Travel agents
- Adventure and ecotourism entities
- Homestays and B&Bs
With NIDHI+ integration, the IIDP also aids in policy monitoring, quality assurance, and fostering a trusted environment for both service providers and tourists.
One Portal, Multiple Dimensions
The new Incredible India digital platform is more than just a tourism portal it’s a holistic travel ecosystem. The website is rich in visual content, including 360 degree views, videos, and AR experiences that help travelers preview destinations before making their plans.
Key features of the IIDP include:

- Visa information and travel advisories
This transformation supports India’s broader vision of Digital India and Atmanirbhar Bharat, showcasing the country’s capability to adopt smart technologies in public service delivery.
A Future Ready Step for Indian Tourism
India ranks among the top global destinations for culture, history, nature, and spirituality. The revamped Incredible India digital platform is expected to significantly boost tourist engagement, support government initiatives like Dekho Apna Desh, and help achieve the ministry’s goal of sustainable and inclusive tourism growth.
Speaking about the launch, a senior official from the Ministry of Tourism said, “With the new digital platform, we aim to position India as a smart, tech savvy, and welcoming destination that caters to all categories of travelers from budget explorers to high end global tourists.”
