The Maharashtra government will be setting up a committee to propose measures for increasing tourist footfalls in forest areas of the state.
The decision was taken at a meeting chaired by state Tourism Minister Aaditya Thackeray in Mumbai on Saturday.
The new committee will have members from the state tourism and forest development corporations, said Thackeray.
“Our endeavour should be to promote forest conservation and also boost tourism in those areas,” Thackeray said.
He added that the forest and tourism departments need to work together to boost tourism in national parks and forest reserves.
The existing tourism centers need to be strengthened by providing them better infrastructure facilities. The minister also wanted tourism promotion to be environment-friendly.
