The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways in India has finalized draft standards aimed at the approval and certification of trailer caravans, which include recreational vehicles, camper vans, and motor homes. This initiative is designed to enhance tourism by allowing large-scale commercial deployment of these vehicles, capitalizing on the growing popularity of caravan tourism worldwide. The draft standards, expected to be finalized within a month, will be made available for public consultation. The government recognizes the accommodation shortages at tourist destinations, particularly in remote areas where permanent structures may not be feasible.

This move is anticipated to significantly boost family-oriented tours and enhance the overall tourism experience in India.
