When it comes to promoting tourism, Maharashtra seems to be doing precious little as compared to neighbouring Madhya Pradesh or Kerala down south. Not just a visible campaign but also in terms of infrastructure and development of various spots that can draw tourists. However, the situation may take turn for good soon, indicated MTDC chairman Jagdish Patil.
The MTDC chief who began his tour of Vidarbha on Friday sought to differ on the perception that not much was being done to promote tourism in the state.
Speaking to TOI, he said that MTDC was planning a media campaign through TV channels like the other states. "We are doing our bit. It is unfair to blame MTDC on this count. MTDC has always made it a point to make its presence at tourist places much before even the private players found it feasible to reach there," said Patil.
But he admitted that several "agencies which are supposed to implement tourism promotion plans in the state have failed".
