The Parvatipuram-Manyam district administration is planning to boost tourism in Sithampet and other regions as many locations have already been attracting tourists even in the absence of basic facilities.
The Adali viewpoint is being developed as one of the best tourism spots in the district. Collector Nishant Kumar and ITDA-Sithampet Project Officer Kalpana Kumari directed the engineering and tourism departments to develop basic amenities such as camping tents, food courts, photo session spots and others.
The government is spending around ₹1.6 crores for the construction of restaurants and commercial complexes near Adali view point which provides an opportunity for tourists to enjoy themselves in nature’s lap.
“We are developing a tribal museum also to depict the culture and traditions of tribals of the region. It is going to be another attraction in the Sithampet area,” said Mr. Nishant Kumar. He hoped that the works would be completed in a couple of months as more tourists from Odisha and other places are likely to visit Sithampet tribal areas in the month of October and November 2023. He asked officials to promote tourism at Thotapalli reservoir and other places located on the Parvatipuram-Palakonda route.
