The APTDC is readying to convert the Haritha Resort located at the Berm Park on the banks of the river into a grand five-star riverfront resort with 100 rooms. The project will be implemented in PPP mode at an estimated cost of ₹100 crore. “Request for Proposal for the project has been issued and a developer will be selected soon. Work related to landscaping and clearing of areas to develop natural trails are already in progress. New pathways, selfie points and many other attractions will be developed as part of the project,” said Himanshu Shukla, Director, Andhra Pradesh Tourism.
Apart from this,

Glamping (a form of camping involving accommodation and facilities more luxurious than those associated with traditional camping) resorts have been conceptualised by the authorities, both at the Bhavani Island and the Pavithra Sangamam.
The tourism department will introduce more water sports and boating activity from 11 new locations, besides the existing boat operations. They include Bhavani Island, Pavithra Sangamam, Gollapudi, Venkatayapalem, Rayapudi, Swathi theatre road, Durga Ghat and Alankar Talkies.

Oldest Park in Vizag to get Renovated Soon!

 

Mudasarlova-Park-Facelift_2web-560x390.j

 

The Mudasarlova Park has always been one of the favourite picnic spots in the city. Constructed during the British rule, it is one of the oldest existing parks. But the sad state it lies in shows of neglect of many years. But VUDA now plans to give the park a facelift, decking it up with basic amenities and several new facilities.

Spread over 20 acres and located at Hanumantawaka, about 25 KMs away from the city, the park stands near the Mudasarlova reservoir. The reservoir is a source of drinking water and a tourist favourite. But tourists and people staying nearby have repeatedly complained about the failure of officials in maintaining this park.

So now in a bid to attract more tourists, VUDA has planned to work on a facelift by providing basic amenities there and new facilities will be lined up. A VUDA official stated that a request for proposal has been issued so that a consultancy can be selected, with the bid ending on April 10. After the finalisation of the agency, a master plan and model will be prepared dependent on the requirement and an estimation of the budget.

 

Views of the people will also reportedly be factored in before taking any steps. The park is set up in one of the most picturesque valleys with abundance of scope in attracting not just tourists but photographers too. But the lack of maintenance on top of the absence of basic amenities like drinking water and washrooms has resulted in its lost charm.

India jumps 12 spots in WEF’s global travel & tourism ranking

 

Andhra Pradesh stands No.4 in india

India has jumped 12 places to 40th rank globally in travel and tourism competitiveness list by World Economic Forum.

 

India is one of the countries that improved the most as it gained 12 places in Asia, but lagged behind its other Asian peers like Japan and China which were ranked way ahead at 4th and 13th place, respectively. Spain is ranked at the top in the list.

 

“India continues to enrich its cultural resources, protecting more cultural sites and intangible expressions through UNESCO World Heritage lists, and via a greater digital presence,” WEF said in its Global Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report 2017.

 

Some of the factors that helped India climb up the ladder include international openness through strong policies such as implementing visa on arrival and e-visas, and improvements in the country’s ground transport infrastructure which benefited the travel and tourism sector in the country, it added.

 

India has seen continued growth in international arrivals over the past 15 years, reaching the 8 million mark in 2015, WEF said, adding the country’s vast cultural and natural resources, and its price competitiveness advantage also attracted international tourists.

 

The report, however, noted that though health conditions are improving, they remain “inadequate”. Similarly, ICT readiness, security concerns and human resources are improving, but remain “weak”.

 

“While further improvements are needed across these dimensions, India is taking small but important steps in the right direction,” WEF said, adding that the Indian travel and tourism sector presents significant opportunities that are yet to be reaped, especially in the provision of tourist service infrastructure, and in terms of additional accommodation capacity and entertainment facilities.

 

In the global ranking Spain, France and Germany were ranked at the top three positions, making them the most tourism friendly economies.

 

Traditional strong travel and tourism destinations, including Japan (4th), the United Kingdom (5th), the United States (6th), Australia (7th), Italy (8th), Canada (9th) and Switzerland (10th), have also made it to the top 10.

 

While advanced economies still hold the top slots, 12 of the top 15 most improved countries are emerging markets.

 

“The rise of Asia’s giants shows that the Asian Tourism Century is becoming a reality. To reach their potential, the majority of countries still have more to do, from enhancing security, promoting their cultural heritage, building their infrastructure and creating stronger visa policies,” WEF Community Lead of the Aviation, Travel and Tourism Industries Tiffany Misrahi said.

 

These results are of significant importance as tourism helps economic growth and job creation - up to 1/10th of global GDP and jobs are tourism-related, WEF noted.

 

The report ranks 136 countries across 14 dimensions, revealing how well countries could deliver sustainable economic and societal benefits through their travel and tourism sector.
