Tourism sector booming in Telangana

Hyderabad: With Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao giving priority to the development of tourism sector with the ambition of “Our Telangana – Our Culture – Our Tourism”, the sector is booming across the State.

Since the formation of State, about 63.51 crore domestic tourists and 1.35 lakh foreign tourists visited the Telangana.

Telangana is home to crores of jewels. Deccan plateau is home to natural beauty, natural water resources, tatakas, hills, peaks, forts and spiritual places.

The tourism sector of Telangana region, which has so many diverse places, has been neglected under the combined Andhra Pradesh. With the formation of a separate State, Telangana tourism sector is now getting new opportunities.

Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, who has complete understanding of Telangana’s history, culture, traditions, natural resources and development, is shaping Telangana as a tourism destination. The government has constituted Telangana Tourism Development Corporation (TSTDC) as a nodal agency to develop and promote the state’s tourism sector.
