In spite of theincrease in COVID-19 cases across many states, domestic tourists continue to visit local tourist places in Visakhapatnam. Almost all the tourism and private hotels in the city are fully booked till the end of Sankranti holidays.
“As there are no restrictions announced by the State government till now, bookings are being accepted. Till January 18, almost all the rooms, especially in Araku circuit including Ananthagiri and Tyada, have been 100% booked,” said an official from Andhra Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation (APTDC) Visakhapatnam.


He said that these bookings were done in December 2021 or even before.

The tour packages offered by the APTDC to Araku, Vizagcity (local) sight-seeing, Lambasingi and others are also being received well by domestic tourists. Even Kailasagiri, VUDA Park, museums on Beach Road, Indira Gandhi Zoolocal Park (IGZP), Kambalakonda and local beaches are open and are witnessingtourist influx. The APTDC officials said that there is a good footfall from West Bengal followed by Odisha, Telangana, Chattisgarh and a few tourists from Karnataka.


“We have been receiving tourists since October 2021-end and the numbers have seen a surge since December due to the holiday season and drop in temperatures. The situation may continue till first week of March, if COVID-19 restrictions such as night curfews and closure of tourist places are not imposed”, said the APTDC officials.
