Over the years, there has been an upsurge in travel and tourism from the South of India. It has been observed that the citizens like to travel and explore pilgrimage places in Maharashtra like Ashtavinayak, Jyotirlangas, Pandharpur, Kolhapur. Since their travel habits are inclined towards devotional destinations, it is a great opportunity for Maharashtra tourism to tap into their needs and requirements as the destinations that Maharashtra state tourism offers deems fit with the travel requirement of the citizens of South India.

Smt. Jayshree Bhoj, IAS, Secretary (Tourism)) said, “After receiving an overwhelming response from our roadshows last year, we are elated to organize a road show series this year as well to newer markets and explore untapped opportunities. Our motive is to promote tourism and boost inter-state travel and tourism. We are happy to receive such a great response for our roadshow in Vishakhapatnam. Maharashtra as a state is rich in travel and tourism opportunities due to various aspects. Post covid, the tourism industry is reviving and the travel companies in Maharashtra are witnessing an uptick in booking trends. We are certain that all our forthcoming roadshows in the country will get a great response from the citizens.”

Maharashtra provides abundant opportunities for tourists with excellent connectivity by railways, roadways, and airways for both domestic and international travelers.
