or tourist place in the city has an interpretation centre where tourists can come and get all information
pertaining to a particular site. ASI is also in the process of bringing out more brochures and guides for
foreign visitors in the city. Experts say such facilities are crucial if the government wants to promote Delhi
as a 'heritage city'. Various agencies like INTACH are also involved in the plans.
Under ITDC's plans, etiquette training for the Games will also be provided to residents who offer rooms to
foreigners under Delhi government's bed and breakfast scheme. "House-owners will be given hospitality

information about the city so they will be provided information on the golden triangle-Delhi, Agra and Jaipur
as well as where tourists should go visiting in Delhi," said an official.
