The state of Uttar Pradesh (UP) is all set to go big on the tourism circuit as the state cabinet has given a nod to four new heliports. These new heliports were initially proposed by the state tourism board and would come up in the prominent tourist-famous cities of Lucknow, Prayagraj, Mathura and Agra. The new heliports would be used for a number of vertical lift aircrafts other than helicopters.
Union Tourism Ministry has also issued an official document on the same, stating that “With a view to promote tourist destinations, the Ministry of Tourism has issued guidelines to extend financial assistance to state governments/Union Territory administrations for construction of heliports under the Scheme of Product/ Infrastructure Development for Destinations and Circuits.”
