SAMMAN EVALUATION
Evaluation Framework & Jury Privilege
- Dynamic Evaluation Framework
The RTS 2026 employs a responsive and fluid “Framework of Excellence” designed to evolve with the changing dynamics of the Tourism Industry in Rajasthan. This framework is periodically iterated to reflect emerging sustainability requirements and shifting perceptions of excellence, ensuring that all Sammans remain technically sound, practical, and deeply rooted in industry realities. - The Jury Privilege
The evaluation process is stewarded by an independent panel of eminent personalities from Industry, Academia, and Public Life. To maintain the highest standards of integrity and meritocracy, the Jury exercises the following privileges: - Finality of Verdict
The collective decision of the Jury Panel is absolute, final, and binding. Neither PHDCCI nor the organizing committee intervenes in the evaluation, scoring, or selection process at any stage. - Right to Withhold
The Jury reserves the undisputed right to withhold a Samman in any specific category if the nominations received do not meet the rigorous threshold of excellence established by the RTS standards. Quality takes precedence over quantity. - Category Discretion
The Jury retains the discretion to re-categorize a nomination if it is deemed more suitable for a different segment, ensuring every entry is judged in its most appropriate context.

The Final Results for the Recognitions will be declared in the Rajasthan Tourism Samman 2026 Gala Night Event, in front of the Tourism Stakeholders and Media.
