District Administration Assures Support for Tourism Development

Madikeri, Oct 28: Deputy Commissioner S.J. Somashekhar has assured that the district administration will provide necessary support for the development of tourism in Kodagu—a district renowned for its hospitality—and will also take up relevant matters at the government level.

Speaking as the chief guest at the annual general meeting of the Coorg Homestays Association, held at Aahan Hills Resort near Galibeedu, he emphasized that the growth of tourism requires the cooperation and suggestions of all stakeholders.

The number of tourists visiting the district is increasing year after year. Homestays play a pivotal role in the growth of tourism, and there must be no compromise in the quality of hospitality provided. An environment should be created that encourages tourists to return repeatedly. Any issues concerning homestays can be brought to the administration's attention freely.

The Deputy Commissioner stated that if certain matters cannot be resolved at the district level, they will be discussed at the government level to ensure the necessary support is provided.

With over 5 million (50 lakh) tourists visiting Kodagu district annually, the issue of vehicle parking has emerged as a challenge. There is a need for an appropriate parking system, and this matter requires serious consideration. Parking facilities could be arranged within the premises of the Public Works Department (PWD) guest house, the Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) grounds, the Gandhi Maidan area, and near the private bus stand. He noted that a two-story parking complex is currently being constructed at the site of the former Kaveri Kalakshetra, which might help alleviate the problem to some extent.
