Deputy Commissioner Dr. Kumara said the opinion of experts in the area of the tourism sector was being elicited for the promotion of tourist sites in Mandya. The support of the people in the tourism industry was also being sought for identifying the sites for development and promoting them for attracting footfall, he added.
Speaking at a meeting where the comprehensive development of Mandya tourism was discussed, he said facilities are a must to attract visitors. Another important aspect is transport to the sites. The available funds have to be used for providing the facilities and developing the sites.
A website on tourist places, pocket diaries on tourist sites and maps, a one-minute video on the places of tourism importance, and display of information boards on the Mysuru-Bengaluru Expressway are being considered as part of tourism promotions, the DC said.
