To overcome the bottlenecks of multiple inter-state road transport barriers, the seamless movement of commercial tour­ist vehicles has finally taken off due to the collaborative and pro-active efforts of Ministry of Tourism with Ministry of Road Transport & Highways and other stake holders. A be­ginning has been made as the first set of tourist vehicles left for the Golden Triangle of Delhi – Agra - Jaipur on 17th July 2010 and returned the same night.
The Union Ministry was felt that there is a need for a sys­tem, which would ensure single window payment of taxes for seamless travel, through which tax can be collected centrally and apportioned to states. This would facilitate smooth movement of tourist traffic and avoid delays and inconvenience to tourists.

In the case of Delhi, the Delhi Transport Authority would col­lect taxes from the Govern­ment approved Tour Op­erators / Tourist Transport Operators on behalf of con­cerned states, based on type of vehicle, travel itinerary and tax structure prevalent. These taxes would be col­lected as separate drafts and Delhi Transport Authority would issue a composite permit allowing vehicles to move freely through­out the concerned states, on the circuit. All the con­cerned state governments for the duration of its validity would honour the permit.
The new arrangement would not only boost the tourist inflow in the region but also would be benefi­cial for the States to plug in revenue leakage. The Government approved Tour operators and Tourist Transport Operators are very enthusiastic about this arrange­ment by which they clear many hurdles in inter-state move­ment, in one stroke. Needless to say, the reduction in travel time by eliminating en – route hold ups is expected to bring in greater tourists satisfaction too.
