Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation plans to draw up an integrated tourist centre development plan to attract visitors.
It includes a deer park, a modern aquarium and water sports facilities, a regional science centre, parks, hill garden and a complete network of amusement and entertainment facilities for tourists.
Municipal commissioner Shrikar Pardeshi said, "Pimpri Chinchwad is not a historical city like Pune with its heritage structures, palaces, and other old buildings. So we need to concentrate on creating amusement and entertainment facilities to attract tourists and mobility to facilitate their movement. A tourist centre development plan will be ready in two months."
He said they would identify sites reserved in the Development Plan (DP) for amusement. "A site recommended for an amusement facility may not be the ideal one. So we will conduct a proper study of each site to find out its most suitable use," he added.
The integrated tourist centre development plan will be implemented in the next three to four years as per a TOI report. Pardeshi said that it will be implemented through civic funds and efforts will be made to get matching grants from the union and state governments
"We want to develop a deer park, modern aquarium and water sports facilities in the city. The regional science centre at Chinchwad is nearly complete. We want to develop a network of amusement and entertainment facilities for tourists," Pardeshi said.
