"A gem of South India"

Visakhapatnam tourism.

Visakhapatnam, also commonly known as Vizag, is one of the oldest port cities in the country. Situated in the heart of Andhra Pradesh, Vizag was announced as the state capital of Andhra Pradesh on January 31, 2023. The city is known for its picturesque beaches and serene landscape, as well as a rich cultural past. The port of Visakhapatnam is renowned for being home to the oldest shipyard in all of India. 

Located a short distance away from Visakhapatnam is Araku Valley, one of the prime attractions of Vizag. Situated at a lofty 910 metres above sea level, Araku Valley is a hill station replete with gushing waterfalls, crystal clear streams, lush green gardens and some challenging trekking trails. Vizag is dotted with many beaches along its coastline, with the most famous one being the Yarada Beach. One of the most stunning places to see in all of Visakhapatnam, Yarada beach is surrounded by majestic hills on three sides, and by the Bay of Bengal on the other side. One of the best things about Vizag’s beaches is that they are a lot cleaner and a lot less crowded than other famous beaches along the Indian coastline, and Yarada beach is no exception. It is the perfect place to sit back on the golden sands and witness a marvellous sunrise or sunset.  If you’re a history lover, the Borra Caves are one of the best tourist attractions that Vizag has to offer for you. Nestled amidst the Ananthagiri Hills in Araku Valley, the Borra Caves are over thousands of years old and are the biggest among all the caves found in India. Made entirely of natural karstic limestone, the caves are kaleidoscopic in nature, and the light falling on the rocks coupled with the waterfalls creates an extremely colourful effect, lending an aura of magic and mysticism to the entire ambience. The Katiki Waterfalls, situated a short distance away from the Borra Caves, is a gushing waterfall that measures around 50 feet in height and is completely surrounded by the lush greenery of the valley. The crystal-clear water cascading down the rocks, bordered by the gleaming green foliage is a sight for sore eyes. Being a coastal area, the primary cuisine of Visakhapatnam includes seafood, as well as traditional Andhra South Indian cuisine.  While Visakhapatnam is not exactly renowned for being a shopping destination, you will still find a lot of things that you can take back home. You can purchase a wide variety of stuff starting from handicrafts to Kalamkari paintings to wooden toys to even gorgeous Pochampalli and Ikat sarees.

A new road from Kailasagiri-Bhogapuram:

Cabinet approved for construction of the road from Kailasagiri in Vizag to Bhogapuram. This route will be 19 kilometres long. Approximately six to eight-lane roads are being planned for the route. The construction planning is being taken up to develop locations aligned to tourist attractions. The corridor is blessed with exotic beaches, green hills, heritage sites and lots of leisure opportunities for development.

Vizag Aeropolis at Bhogapuram Airport:

On the lines of Delhi Aerocity, Vizag will have Aeropolis in about 400 acres near Bhogapuram Airport. This would be offset with an IT Tower, Skill University and a Robotics Centre. The Aeropolis will cater to business travellers and also be a hub for commercial activity. The development will be under PPP mode in collaboration with private players by the Andhra Pradesh Tourism Authority. This is one of the most exciting tourism projects in Visakhapatnam as we are all awaiting the day when the new International Airport becomes operational.

Beach Corridor:

The main objective of the project is to develop a green-field road (Beach Corridor) connecting the new international airport at Bhogapuram (entry point) and Bheemunipatnam (endpoint of R&B Road). This project cost is Rs 1021 crore proposed in an area of 570 acres. The project will provide alternate connectivity on the parallel road from Ranasthalam to Anandapuram which eases traffic congestion of the NH-16 section. The Beach Corridor project will be a ‘hospitality district’ with world-class accommodation facilities (beach resorts/ hotels) for visitors, amusement parks, eco-tourism, swimming pools, water sports avenues, food courts, shopping malls, fisheries along the corridor. The beach corridor will have hanging bridge/suspension bridges over the river Gosthani at 2 locations.

Jetties at three beaches:

Jetties are proposed to be developed at 3 beaches – Bheemili Beach, Annavaram Beach and Bhogapuram Beach. These jetties will protect the shorelines of the above-mentioned beaches.

Floating Restaurant:

12 new projects approved to turn Visakhapatnam into a Tourism Hub

The implementation of a floating restaurant, in the Bangladeshi vessel MV Maa which ran aground in last year’s cyclone to the shores of Vizag, is also being undertaken in this project. The vessel had stalled at Tenneti Park and ever since then, the place had been under the spotlight for every Vizag resident. Now, the construction of the floating restaurant has been undertaken and soon it will be a reality. The project will have Banquet Halls, 30 rooms, and a Multi-Cuisine Restaurant. With an estimated cost for the project of Rs 10.50 crores including the purchase of the ship and renovation and remodelling, the proposal has already been approved and APTDC is taking steps to acquire the ship.

Development of Buddhist sites:

ap tourism to visakhapatnam

Thotlakonda and Bavikonda are prominent Buddhist sites in the State and draw thousands of tourists from across the country. The project will have a meditation centre, sound and light show, museum and interpretation centre, amenities and facilities.

This is one of the most important tourism projects as we want the Heritage of Vizag to stay forever.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazil’s government extended exemptions to tourist visa requirements for citizens of the U.S., Australia and Canada until April 2025, extending a program aimed at boosting tourism that had been scheduled to end Wednesday.

The decision, issued by Brazilian presidency and the Ministry of Foreign Relations late Tuesday, marks the third time Brazil has delayed the visa requirement since President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva took office in 2023.

His predecessor, Jair Bolsonaro, exempted the countries from visas as a means to boost tourism — although all three countries continued to demand visas from Brazilians.

That went against the South American country’s tradition of requiring visas from travelers based on the principle of reciprocity and equal treatment, and prompted Lula’s Foreign Ministry to say it would scrap the exemptions.

“Brazil does not grant unilateral exemption from visiting visas, without reciprocity, to other countries,” the ministry said at the time, while noting that the government stood ready to negotiate visa waiver agreements on a reciprocal basis. It did reach a deal with Japan to ease travel provisions.

The decision to maintain exemptions for the three countries is important for boosting tourism in Brazil, notably from the U.S., Brazil’s official tourism board Embratur said in a statement Tuesday.

Official data shows that nearly 670,000 Americans visited Brazil in 2023, making the U.S. the second largest country of origin after neighboring Argentina.

The government initially postponed the reinstatement of the visa requirement in October, then again in January. At the time, the government said it was still finalizing a new visa system and wanted to avoid implementing it close to the high season, mainly during the New Year’s celebrations and Carnival festivities in February, which attract tens of thousands of tourists.
