Under its new policy to promote tourism in the union territory of Chandigarh, a bed and breakfast scheme was launched by the tourism authorities here Thursday.
The first tourist under the scheme was Ornoy and his family from Israel. They were accommodated by the Arora family of Sector 22 here. The scheme is the first of its kind in the northern states of Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh.
Tourism officials said the scheme was aimed at providing clean and homely stay in the city at affordable rates for tourists.
After the Chandigarh administration floated the scheme earlier this year, 16 house owners have registered themselves under the scheme.
Nearly one million tourists visited the city in 2007.
