Good feedback for State’s caravan tourism policy

Tourism dept. to launch portal for prospective groups, individuals as the project rolls out in Jan.

With proposals and inquires pouring in, the caravan tourism policy of the State is garnering good response from all corners. While the project is slated to hit the road in January 2022, the massive feedback has prompted the Tourism Department to launch a web portal for prospective groups and individuals.

With the industry set to beat the COVID-19 blues and tourists looking for quieter destinations in the post-pandemic world, caravanning is expected to be a major attraction.

“Since so many people are approaching us with proposals, especially for starting caravan parks, we will be opening a portal. All groups and individuals who want to set up a park or own a caravan can register there,” says Tourism Director V.R. Krishna Teja. While the department will be offering a subsidy for buying caravans, no assistance will be provided for parks that are minimum-investment structures.
