Tourism States - Andhra Pradesh AP to focus on adventure, eco tourism Our Bureau Hyderabad, Sept. 17 With no heritage site on its tourism menu and having no advantage of being in the Delhi-Agra-Jaipur circuit, Andhra Pradesh has decided to bank on innovative products such as adventure and eco tourism, while focussing on its core strengths of temple and Buddhist circuits. The State has also decided to set up the MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences and events) and medical tourism opportunities in a big way by setting up two bureaus. These bureaus would consist of stakeholders from the respective industries. Making a presentation to the media at the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) conference here on Wednesday, Ms Lakshmi Parthasarathy, Principal Secretary (Tourism) of Andhra Pradesh, said the Government was taking up a major adventure tourism project near Vikarabad. It is also utilising the Eastern Ghats and Horsley Hills to promote adventure and eco tourism. Mr Jayesh Ranjan, Managing Director of AP Tourism Development Corporation, said the corporation would turn the Kolleru lake into a bird-watcher’s paradise. “We are finalising a proposal to develop infrastructure on the lakh site to attract bird-watchers,” he said.
