Tuesday, March 28, 2023

In order to assess the progress of works, including the adventure sports facilities, State Tourism Minister K. Ramachandran inspected the Ooty Lake and Boat House on Sunday. During the inspection, officials from the Tamil Nadu Tourism Development Corporation and the Tourism Department were present.

The Ooty Lake and Boat House are being prepared at a cost of 5 crore. A zip line, canopy tour, zip cycle, huge swing, roller coaster zip line, bunjee leaping, rocket ejector, and 450-meter suspension bridge were among them.

According to Mr. Ramachandran, Tamil Nadu has the greatest number of tourist visits in the country.
The Minister further stated that between 2021 and 2022, a total of 12 lakh tourists visited the Nilgiris, while from the beginning of 2022 to the end of March 2023, 22 lakh tourists visited the area.

The Minister visited the facilities at the Boat House and stated that any obstacles to visitor movement to the lake will be removed. He directed authorities to remove any encroachments and to keep the toilets clean and well-maintained.

He also checked on the progress of the construction of a retaining wall around Ooty Lake.

According to Mr. Ramachandran, Tamil Nadu lacks unique infrastructure for adventure sports and that adventure sports parks like the ones at Ooty Lake and Boat House will enhance tourism in the state.

According to the Minister, Tamil Nadu currently attracts a large number of tourists, and the additional infrastructure will benefit both the state and local economies.
