Maharashtra government in process of formulating new Tourism Policy: Aaditya Thackeray

The Maharashtra government is in the process of formulating a new Tourism Policy for the state which includes beach shacks in Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg districts, Tourism Minister Aaditya Thackeray told the Legislative Assembly on Wednesday.

Thackeray informed that a proposal is also under consideration for development of resorts and hotels in the coastal Konkan region.

“Infrastructure in Konkan is also being upgraded with development of the Mumbai-Goa highway, an airport at Chipi in Sindhudurg and the Coastal Road,” he said.

He also said tourism is not on the priority list of the Asian Development Bank (ADB).

To this, Leader of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis said the ADB gives funds for road development and infrastructure works, which can be used for the construction of the Coastal Road.

Responding to Fadnavis, deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar said the government is working in this direction.

The Coastal Road is an under construction eight-lane, 29.2-km long freeway that would run along Mumbai’s western coastline connecting Marine Lines in the south to Kandivali in the north.-PTI news
