Vizag Port, Tourism Dept. keen on attracting foreign tourists, cruise ship operators
The HinduA ‘people prominence centre’ is planned to be constructed by the Visakhapatnam Port Authority, at an estimated cost of ₹18 crore, near Sri Venkateswara Swamy temple, adjacent to the Port channel, and short circuit tours to nearby tourist places will also be launched to attract international tourists. The objective is to attract international tourists by creating new facilities, developing basic amenities at the existing tourist spots and also making the city an attractive destination for international cruise operators to make Vizag a port of call. In the absence of e-Visa facility, cruise line operators skip Vizag Port and prefer other ports that have the facility,” says K. Vijay Mohan, president, Tours and Travels Association of Andhra. Harendhira Prasad visited various tourist places in and around the city on Wednesday and directed the Tourism officials to develop basic amenities like toilets to attract international tourists.
