The government of Uttarakhand has agreed to develop 13 new
tourist destinations to boost tourism in the state. The funding for the project
will be provided by a Shanghai-based New Development Bank which has agreed to
offer financial assistance of INR 1200 crore to the government of Uttarakhand.
Also, the central government has given the permissions for loans.
The state government has drawn up the ’13 district-13 destination ‘scheme to
develop new tourist spots beyond the existing tourist destinations of Uttarakhand.
Under this project, one district will get one new tourist attraction.
As per reports, the state government will soon finalise a formal agreement with
the Shanghai-based bank if everything goes fine. The work will begin only after
the formal agreement is done at these 13 spots.
As of now the government is busy making a budget to develop new tourist
destinations. Considering the geographical location of Uttarakhand, a lot of
importance is being given to the development of
new airstrips which will help improve air
connectivity and boost tourism in the state of Uttarakhand
