Guides show the way...

A private initiative – ‘ The Sindhudurg Guide’ has been launched by a group of tour guides to highlight the offerings of the destination to the domestic tour operators and travellers.

Launched

in March this year, ‘ The Sindhudurg Guide’ is a private initiative launched to develop the potential of Sindhudurg district as a tourist destination. Close to 30 local youths have known destinations. It has identified close to 80 destinations in the Sindhudurg district which can keep a traveller engaged for an average seven nights and eight days. Once, the association strengthens its tour guide number, it will start connect- travellers can indulge in. Tourism is not only providing a revenue generating option for locals, but also helping them educate themselves about sustaining their culture, history and environment. We will soon market our offerings among domestic tour operators by inviting them for FAMs, writing to them, educating them through sales calls and we are also looking at a possibility to work closely with Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation in the near future.”
