The Travel Agents Association of Nashik (TAAN) has drawn up a campaign to promote safe tourism by demanding a 'tourist' autorickshaw service which will cater to the demands of tourists visiting the city.

"We have drawn up two campaigns to promote safety of tourists coming to Nashik. The campaigns include plying tourist rickshaws - distinctly marked with the rate card finalized by respective agencies, such that the tourists get fair treatment," Jayesh Talegaonkar, president of TAAN said.

Speaking about plans by organization ahead of 'tourism day', Talegaonkar said that the organization was interested in making travel easier in Nashik. "We are speaking to the autorickshaw unions about the possibility of tourist autos.

Half and full-day packages keeping in mind the time required and distance to be travelled, and fairs would be finalised. The rate card could be made available even for visits to particular distances," Talegaonkar said.

The members of the association further said that there was a plan to make the autorickshaw driver a guide for the tourists."This would further help the tourist first deciding upon the areas where they would like to go and then hiring the services," a member said.

The member further added, stressed that the travelers who wish to see in the city our outside to use the taxis having tourist permit only, especially to ensure all the claims were settled hassle-free in case of emergencies.
