Andhra Pradesh Government to Develop Visakhapatnam as Tourist Hub

The Andhra Pradesh government is keen on developing Visakhapatnam as Tourist Hub. The picturesque and heritage-rich city is soon to be known as the tourist hub with its fast developing infrastructure to leverage the whole process. The state government had already started work to develop beaches between Bheemili and Visakhapatnam at a cost of Rs 50 crore, which will be completed soon. A leisure night package tour bus was also launched by the state tourism development corporation. The bus covers places like Submarine Museum, Rishikonda, Kailasagiri Hill and Shilparamam Jatara in the city.

The district has a number of natural beaches and is also rich in culture and heritage. It also has Buddhist centres, the picturesque Araku valley, Borra caves and Erramatti Dibbalu (red sand dunes) which could be developed as tourists places.

After developing Visakhapatnam as Tourist hub, it would have all the potential to be developed like Singapore. Here is hoping and wishing that the port city becomes a well-known and most preferred tourist spot attracting  national as well as international tourists alike thus making Visakhapatnam as Tourist hub of Andhra Pradesh.

Damages to Property Getting Slowly Restored After Vizag Hudhud

For a tourist, a visit to Vizag is incomplete without a trek to Kailasagiri. Vizag Hudhud has left it in a shambles after its devastating wake. The scenic beauty on the Vizag Beach Road, always teeming with tourists and locals, is now lost. It is heartbreaking to see the tourist spots and monuments just getting wiped out after a disaster. One moment it is there and the next moment it is gone.

Statues and sculptures that adorn the road remain uprooted as Vizag Hudhud came with a ferocious wind speed of over 200 kmph. A replica of the Indian Air Force’s plane close to the Ramakrishna Beach, crashed. NS Kursura, the decommissioned Naval submarine that was converted into a museum and installed on the beach road, also got hit by Vizag Hudhud but the damage was said to be not extensive.

The VUDA Park, the Tenneti Park and other green spots on the coast, pleasant hideouts for tourists and locals alike, have lost their shape. Dolphin’s Nose area, close to the Vizag Port, that offers a vantage view of the anchored ships also suffered damage. Rishikonda beach resort of the Andhra Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation, a much sought-after place of stay for tourists, was battered by Vizag Hudhud.

The Beach Corridor Project between Visakhapatnam and Bhimili, taken up at a cost of Rs 42 crore, was also hit by Hudhud. Thotlakonda and Baavikonda, close to Vizag on the Beach Road leading to Bhimili, that houses the ruins of Buddhist era, now remain ruined, though partially.

Vizag Tourism Restored After Badly Hit by Hudhud

There is no “off-season” for Vizag Tourism, but visitors flocking to this picturesque port city, badly battered by cyclone ‘Hudhud’, had to wait until the many delights of the heritage-rich destination was restored to its former glory. Tourism infrastructure in Vizag city and other important tourist spots in the district had been badly hit due to Hudhud’s deadly impact and it took a few more months even for basic repairs. While Andhra Pradesh as a whole attracts over 200 million tourists per annum, bulk of them visit Vizag.

Besides people from various parts of Andhra Pradesh, Vizag attracts visitors from West Bengal, Odisha and Chhattisgarh in large numbers. While Tirupati is the pilgrimage hub, Vizag tourism hub of Andhra Pradesh is famous in itself. It attracts lots of visitors every year.

 Kailasagiri, the hill that offers a bird’s-eye view of the Bay of Bengal and the ‘steel city’, is one of the prime tourist spots that bore the brunt of Hudhud’s devastating blow. All greenery atop the picturesque hill has been wiped out and the ropeway from the foot to the top of the hill has been damaged. The ‘joy train’, a major attraction on Kailasagiri, has also derailed.
