Minister for Tourism, Sports and Excise V. Srinivas Goud has asked officials to prepare proposals for comprehensive development of tourism sector in the State.
While reviewing the activities of the Tourism Department here on Saturday ahead of World Tourism Day celebrations on September 27, he said that government was preparing a new sports policy and on the same lines, the new tourism policy would be prepared as a model for other States.
Development of tourism spots in Kaleshwaram project areas, proposals for recognition of the Thousand Pillar Temple in Warangal and Golconda Fort and Chariminar in Hyderabad as world heritage sites were discussed at the meeting. He said there were many historic structures in the State that need to be protected.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
