THE Karnataka Government, which has planned various tourism development activities, has submitted a Rs 611-crore proposal to the Centre.
Addressing newspersons at Udupi on Monday, the Karnataka Tourism Minister, Mr D.T. Jayakumar, said that the development of Maravanthe and Malpe beaches in Udupi district, Panambur beach in Dakshina Kannada district, and Gokarna beach in Uttara Kannada district is included in this proposal.
He said that the project proposals are likely to be included in the forthcoming Budget. The Government has requested the Centre to relax coastal regulatory zone norms in the State, as they have come in the way of beach tourism development.
He said some private parties have shown interest in beach tourism. The Government will take up beach development at Malpe in Udupi district. Tenders have been called for the construction of cottages at Maravanthe beach in Udupi district.
The Minister said that three houseboats are ready for inauguration at Devbagh in Karwar of Uttara Kannada district. Other beaches such as Malpe, Maravanthe, and Panambur will soon get houseboat facilities, he said.
The Rs 611-crore proposal also includes the development of adventure tourism in the State.
