On March 8, 2022, International Women’s Day, Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC) announced 50% discount on accommodation reservation for female guests and their families staying in the tourist accommodation of the MTDC for a period of 5 days from 6th March 2022 to 10th March 2022.

Calling it the celebration in the honour of the Ranaraginis, the Tourism Minister Aditya Thackeray said, “ We feel that it is our first duty to strive for empowerment of women, who are facing the situation head on in all fields, as well as to show respect, dignity and love towards them.”

The theme of 2022 International Women’s Day is ‘gender equality for the sustainable tomorrow’. The United Nations has announced this theme in recognition of the fact that women in the 21st century are making significant contributions to building a more sustainable future by taking responsibility for climate change adaptation, mitigation and response.

MTDC has announced a 50% discount on reservations for bookings on Sundays on accommodation room reservation. “A special welcome will be accorded to the female guest who arrives at the MTDC tourist accommodation. The Information Technology Branch has made available the required PROMO CODES website (www.mtdc.co) for all tourist accommodation managers to provide a 50% reservation discount to female guests, thus making these reservations transparent and smooth. As the government has relaxed the restrictions on Corona, all the tourist residences of the corporation are being reserved on a large scale,” said Deepak Harane, Regional manager, MTDC, Pune.
