Marketing and advertising

In order to promote shiganapur as a tourist place the government can mention about this place in the various tourist information guides.
The local authorities (gram panchayat) could also promote the place by organizing various cultural programmes and fairs. In addition they could also hold various religious gatherings. This would generate interest in the minds of people all over the country.

The place can also be marketed by giving a brief description of the place behind the state government buses.

Shirdi being the most popular religious tourist place which is been visited by approximately a lakh visitors everyday from all over India, and is also very near to Shingnapur can make a huge difference in promoting shingnapur. This can be done by the help of local inhabitants of Shirdi. Government can also set up tourist information centre which will help in promoting the place by giving free information to the tourists across the state of Maharashtra as well as India on a whole
