Old Boats, New Tourists

According to the plan, MPTDC will renovate old boat clubs and enhance the state's water sports facilities. It has even identified a few locations for the upgrade, and old boats will be renovated to fit the project. The corporation is also currently pondering adding new speed boats, water cycle boats, and other new supplies to attract more tourists before the state’s peak tourist season (monsoon and winters) is upon them.

“We are identifying places that need an upgrade. Old boat clubs will be renovated and new water activities will be added. A few places are already on the list for renovation and upgrade, while more places will be added to the list,” said Rajendra Nigam, advisor for water sports, MPTDC.

To boost tourism even further, the tourist department plans to offer hefty discounts on tourist places.
