To make the city a hub of tourism in the region, the Chandigarh UT administration will develop theme-based circuits in and around Chandigarh.
The tourism department has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with a private consultant, which gives handholding and helps develop the project.
“The Centre under the Swadesh Darshan scheme (SDS) 2.0 has included the city in the destination-based tourism development scheme. The ministry has hired L&T as the project development and management company. The consultant will help the administration develop a plan of action for the theme-based circuit tourism, and then it will help in its implementation,” said an official.
Tourism Corporation of Gujarat Limited (TCGL) has signed an MoU to organise the award event for the first time. The event will focus on the state’s film-friendly policies, incentives for filmmakers and its experiences and will foster cultural exchange and employment, fuel Gujarat’s development as a cinematic tourism hub and contribute to the state’s economic growth.
There will be destinations within the city, like the heritage circuit, which will showcase the architectural heritage of the city.”We will also be developing the circuit having destinations in neighbouring states of Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh,” said the official.
