According to a recent Press Trust of India (PTI) report , the Karnataka State Tourism Development Corporation (KSTDC) plans to target all segments of tourists, including those from the high-end, instead of confining to the budget tourists by allocating Rs 15 crore to improve the infrastructure.
Vinay Luthra, Managing Director, KSTDC said,"Our focus is going to be all encompassing now, taking all tourist segments including the middle-income and high-end instead of confining ourselves to just budget tourists.” With this in view, the KSTDC will spend Rs ten crore this year for hotel upgradation and Rs five crore on adding new tourist coaches, Luthra added.
The bus tours organised by the KSTDC will now target the budget, the middle-income and also the premium tourists providing choice to the tourists. To make travel "most comfortable" for the tourists, the KSTDC will be buying four new volvo buses and a fleet of 12 other hi-tech coaches, both airconditioned and non-airconditioned. |
