Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has directed the officials concerned to prepare comprehensive plans for development of eco-tourism in the State.
He wanted the Forests and Environment and Tourism departments to work in coordination to prepare the plans for tourism projects for attracting tourists. The two departments should identify forests, heritage sites, areas attracting migratory birds and those rich in biodiversity and plan their development accordingly.
Steps should be taken to ensure that the proposed development will secure international recognition for the State’s rich biodiversity. The departments concerned could rope in services of consultants for preparing comprehensive plans besides exploring options for developing Kawal and Amrabad tiger reserves as tourist destinations.
