Hyderabad: Chief minister A Revanth Reddy on Wednesday directed the officials to study the best tourism policies of different states in other countries and formulate a new Telangana tourism policy by Feb 10.
The new tourism policy should aim to attract domestic as well as international tourists in large numbers and should bring recognition to the state and also generate significant revenues through tourism development, the CM told officials.
The CM held a review meeting on tourism development in the state and made some suggestions to promote eco and temple tourism and develop a tourism circuit in Hyderabad. "Examine the issue of developing a tourism circuit by connecting Sanjeevaiah Park, NTR Park, and Indira Park in the vicinity of Hussainsagar in Hyderabad," he told officials.
A joint action plan between revenue, forest, and tourism departments is required to attract devotees and tourists during the prestigious Sammakka-Saralamma Jatara. A tourism circuit connecting nearby tourist areas and temples during the jatara should also be developed to attract more tourists, he said.
Revanth also suggested developing eco-tourism in areas like Adilabad, Warangal, and Nagarjuna Sagar. Singapore-style eco-tourism policies will also be studied to improve the tourism infrastructure in the state.
In view of the upcoming Godavari and Krishna Pushakarams, CM Revanth asked the officials to prepare plans to attract devotees and tourists from across the country.
