RAS question
Which district received the highest number of domestic tourist visits in Rajasthan in 2024?
Correct answer: (B) Sikar.
Sikar received the highest number of domestic tourist visits in Rajasthan in 2024, with 2,76,61,349 visits.
Explanation
Rajasthan Economic Review 2024-25 places Sikar at rank 1 for district-wise domestic tourist visits in 2024, recording 2,76,61,349 visits. Chittorgarh stood second with 2,41,94,865 visits, Ajmer third with 2,25,89,808 visits and Jaisalmer fourth with 2,24,16,810 visits, so Sikar clearly leads the 2024 domestic tourism ranking. Domestic tourist visits and international tourist visits are separate indicators; Rajasthan Economic Review 2024-25 separately records Jaipur as the most visited district for international tourists. In the 2024 domestic tourist visits ranking, Sikar is the top district.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) Jaipur is not the 2024 domestic-tourism leader; it topped in 2023, while Sikar topped in 2024.
- (C) Ajmer ranked third in 2024 domestic tourist visits, behind Sikar and Chittorgarh.
- (D) Jaisalmer ranked fourth in 2024 domestic tourist visits, below Sikar, Chittorgarh and Ajmer.
Concept
Rajasthan economy includes tourism indicators, especially district-wise movement in domestic tourist visits. RAS often asks such ranking-based current facts because tourism links the state economy with services, employment and regional development.
