Gujarat Tourism Policy 2021–25 reserves its maximum incentive package for High Priority Tourism Destinations listed in the policy annexure. Hotels in these destinations receive 20% capital subsidy and 100% stamp duty reimbursement — but only if destination status is confirmed before you buy land.
Priority vs standard destination rates
| Incentive | High Priority | Other areas |
|---|---|---|
| Capital subsidy | 20% of FCI | 15% of FCI |
| Stamp duty | 100% reimbursement | Verify category — may be lower |
| Interest subvention | Up to 5% | Up to 5% in municipal areas |
| Electricity duty | 100% × 5 years | 100% × 5 years |
Circuits to evaluate first
- Statue of Unity and Kutch — resort and eco-lodge demand
- Saputara hill station
- Pilgrimage circuits (Dwarka, Somnath)
- Ahmedabad and Surat — confirm annexure status per plot
