MTDC to provide experiential tourism in all its resorts for year-end celebrations

Saturday, December 24, 2022

Preparations are underway to celebrate Christmas and ring in the New Year in all the resorts and guesthouses of Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC) to provide experiential activities to its guests and make this a memorable occasion. Notably, all MTDC resorts across the state are nearly 100% full for the end-of-year celebration.

Hindustan Times quoted Deepak Harne, regional manager, MTDC, Pune as saying, “The Corporation actually intends to provide experiential tourism in all its resorts. Therefore, tourists are opting for MTDC accommodation to welcome Christmas and New Year. Till now, 90% of MTDC’s resorts have been reserved and soon, all of them will be 100% full for year-end celebrations.”

He added, “While Ajantha (Faridapur) in the Aurangabad division, Lonar, Grape Park in the Nashik division, Bhandardara, Mahabaleshwar in the Pune division, Lonavala (Karla), Malshej ghat, Matheran, Tarakarli in Konkan, Kunkeshwar, Harihareshwar and Ganapatipule are the main tourist attractions.”

A total of 30 resorts and restaurants are operated by the MTDC across the Maharshtra.

The MTDC is sparing no effort to provide a wealth of experiences to the tourists, especially those who missed the corporation’s earlier themes of Varsha or monsoon tourism and Deepotsav or Diwali tourism.

Plans are afoot to hold experiential activities for tourists related to Ayurveda, nature, and the local food and environment, Hindustan Times reported.

“At the local level, we will be promoting local artists, professionals associated with the tourism industry and emerging artists while providing attractive electric lighting in all tourist accommodations. Yoga and wellness camps and activities such as local trips, treks and hill walks have been planned,” Harne said as reported by Hindustan Times.
