Tourism in Maharashtra will flourish post-COVID: Aditya Thackeray

Maharashtra will see a major boost in tourism in the post-COVID era, Aditya Thackeray, Minister for Tourism, Environment, Protocol, Government of Maharashtra, said yesterday while addressing an Interactive session with FICCI Tourism Committee.

Thackeray said that tourism can be revived with a two-way approach, one to promote the destination and another by creating a destination and establishing a local industry around it.

“We have to divide the tourism experience into formal and informal experience. The Maharashtra Government and the department is working on ecotourism aided by sustainable goals,” he added.

To encourage the tourist vibe, it is important to keep the tourists engaged, which needs larger connectivity. ” We have funds allocated but it needs to be used wisely,” the Minister said.

The Maharashtra government has rejuvenated the state’s tourism sector with a focus on local heritage, culture, and history. “We have everything in Maharashtra,” he said. The Sahyadri, white beaches and the state’s tiger sanctuary continues to attract wildlife lovers and the growing number of visitors also highlights the eco-tourism potential.

Elaborating on the government’s future initiatives he said, it is important to narrate the history of Maharashtra to the tourists through its valuable heritage. “Historical monuments like the BMC building, the High Court and Wankhede Stadium will be open for day tourists,” he said.

 Valsa Nair Singh, Principal Secretary, Enquiry Officer, GAD, Civil Aviation & Excise and Tourism & Cultural Affairs (Additional Charge), Government of Maharashtra said that since the COVID-19 pandemic the hospitality and tourism industry has been working very closely with the government of Maharashtra.

She further mentioned that Government of Maharashtra is taking concrete steps to boost infrastructure development and ease of doing business by reducing the number of licenses required from seventy to ten and soon this will be reduced to only one license. “Infrastructure status has been granted to the hospitality industry effective from 2021 to further boost this segment and seven MTDC properties in key tourist destinations will soon be available for private investment,” she said.

Ranveer Brar, Renowned Celebrity Chef said that there is a home cooking revolution brewing among home chefs and it’s time to structure, monitor and cradle the home-cooking industry.
