About Andaman & Nicobar Bed & Breakfast / Home Stay Establishment Scheme
Following the approved guidelines of the Ministry of Tourism, Govt. of India, under the scheme “Incredible India Bed & Breakfast/Homestay Establishment”, the Directorate of Tourism, Andaman & Nicobar Administration, runs the ‘Andaman & Nicobar Bed & Breakfast/Homestay Scheme’ throughout the Islands. The idea is to offer additional, good-quality lodging where foreign and domestic tourists can stay with an Indian family and experience Indian customs and traditions first-hand.
To offer tourists comfortable Home Stay Facilities with Standardized World Class Services and to add to the lodging available at tourist spots, the Department of Tourism, A & N Administration will classify fully functional Bed & Breakfast/ Home Stay rooms as “Andaman & Nicobar Bed & Breakfast/ Homestay Establishments”. The underlying aim is a clean, reasonably priced place to stay for both foreign and domestic visitors, and a chance for foreigners to live with an Indian family, experience Indian customs and traditions and enjoy genuine Indian food.
