To promote AP tourism abroad and attract foreign tourists, a team of tour operators from Vizag will take part in a tourism meet held in Berlin in March.
Speaking about the same in a conference organised by CII, in association with Ministry of Tourism on ‘Destination Vizag’, the principal secretary (Tourism) N Srikanth reportedly said, “The tour operators will have the required itineraries prepared and with the help of tourism operators over there, will come up with attracting deals for the foreign tourists
.”He also said that the number of tourists visiting the state from across the world has increased in the recent past and among the facilities provided to them luxury rooms are the priorities.
