The Delhi Government estimates a shortage of approximately 30,000 rooms for visitors for the Common Wealth Games 2010, therefore the Union Ministry of Tourism has launched the Bed and Breakfast Scheme. The features of this Bed and breakfast scheme are that the Government requires home owners to provide additional rooms for use as a bed and breakfast accommodation in their private residences. The Delhi Government offers the home owners a grading system depending on the facilities made available. The license to open a Bed and Breakfast is given after police verification and grading is complete. Currently the Bed and Breakfast are graded into Silver and Gold Category. The home owners who are willing to augment their income and provide their extra rooms for tourists can avail of this facility. The tourist stays in the owner's house and learns the customs and culture of the country and therefore takes back with him rich memories and experiences, which cannot be gained from staying in a hotel.
The owner augments his income and gets to meet new people from different culture and background and the tourist gets to experience the lifestyle and culture of other nationalities. This is best suited to families who want to stay and see/explore how other cultures/ nationalities live and to gain an insight into the cultural heritage of that country.
Delhi Bed and Breakfast is a homestay b&b for tourists to New Delhi, India.

Homestay New Delhi is a concept wherein you stay with a family in a private residence. Homestay helps you come across land, people, culture and cuisine of a place in its pristine elements unlike hotel accommodation. These Homes have their own history and stories to tell, run by the families who have inherited the culture and hospitality.
Bed and Breakfast based on the Homestay concept are a better alternative than staying in a boring hotel as they offer an insight into the culture of the people, their beliefs and practices.
Homestay New Delhi gives you an alternative to relax and mingle with other nationalities and get to know their culture, culinary skills and cuisine, get away from the maddening crowd and have a holiday at your own pace - all the while learning about how people in different parts of the world live and go about their lives.
