ECR to become a tourist hot-spot

In Tamil Nadu state bureaucracy, Sandeep Nanduri, a 2009 batch IAS officer of the Tamil Nadu cadre is making ripples. The reason is simple. He has made a mark for himself and caught the attention of the Chief Minister, M K Stalin, who recently released an exclusive tourism policy-2023, touted to be one of its kind.

A multi-tasker, known for his grit, determination and perseverance, a big dreamer and a passionate driver of the responsibilities vested with him, has earned laurels within a short span of time for translating into action various state government’s initiatives. Nanduri met with Industrial Economist as the Managing Director of Tamil Nadu Tourism Development Corporation and now he has moved over to Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation (TIDCO) as its Managing Director.

Hitting the coast

His passion for tourism comes out with his story telling capabilities. “We will tap the potential across the long 1000-km plus scenic coastal line. This will be the center of action and we have planned several new attractions,” explained Nanduri. “We propose to target discerning tourists of all ages especially the gen-next who have the spending power to explore by taking short breaks during weekends,” pointed out Nanduri. Along with this, the time-tested spiritual tourism is being planned to capitalised further through additional promotions. A travel buff himself, Nanduri prefers the less explored and adventurous destinations.

The entire stretch of East Coast Road (ECR) will soon become home to water sporting activities, eco-tourism and adventure hot spots besides the increasing focus of Meetings, Incentives, Conference and Exhibition (MICE) tourism in a big way”, highlighted Nanduri. A state-of-the-art convention centre is to come up in a 19-acre plot on the sea-front, adjacent to Dakshina Chitra. The Tamil Nadu Public Works Department (PWD) has been entrusted with the task of designing the center which meets the burgeoning aspirations of the state. For the food buffs, new floating restaurants is to be added at TTDC’s boating yard located on the ECR. The first such restaurant will soon be launched. “Our target is to woo IT professionals. Also, the “hop-on-hop-off” tourist friendly buses will be revived and a committee is looking into the commercial feasibility of operations,” said Nanduri.

Focusing on all-around aspects

on the improvements to be made in the existing properties of TTDC especially those adjoining various temple tourism hot spots, the TTDC is looking to partner with private players to provide them a facelift.

In Udhagamandalam, hailed as the Queen of Hill Stations, a rope way is to be introduced. All these new initiatives will come up without disturbing the ecological balance and much attention is being given to environmental protection. Nanduri is excited about the forthcoming Tamil Nadu’s Global Investors’ Meet (GIM). “We will work closely with the Industries Department, Guidance Tamil Nadu and other allied departments to showcase our strengths in the tourism sector to the investor”, explained Nanduri.

With Chennai being the medical hub, the tourism department recently organised an international conference where 22 countries participated, and more such meetings are on the promotional map.

Though Tamil Nadu has a stiff competition from its neighbour Kerala (known as God’s own country), Nanduri is sure that the state’s heritage combined with the new policy offers much more. Wrapping up the session, Nanduri firmly laid out his plans to make the state the most sought-after destination in the near future, keeping in line with the tag line of “Tamil Nadu–Where stories never end.”

Interview with Tmt. V. Amudhavalli, director of tourism & managing director, TTDC

November 1, 2019

/ By Ranvir Nayar / New Delhi

India & You

October-December 2019

Tmt. V. Amudhavalli, director of tourism & managing director, Tamilnadu Tourism Development Corporation (TTDC)

In an interview with India & You Tmt. V. Amudhavalli, director of tourism & managing director, Tamilnadu Tourism Development Corporation (TTDC) talks about how they are promoting Tamil Nadu as a heritage and cultural destination to attract more foreign tourists in the state.

How is the tourism industry doing in Tamil Nadu?

Tamil Nadu has been voted as the first tourist destination in India. For the past five years, it has been the No. 1 destination amongst the Indian states for domestic as well as foreign tourist arrivals. So as of now Tamil Nadu is a better known tourist destination for its rich cultural heritage, monumental values, beach tourism. It is a state which has different types of destination- we have hill stations, we have wildlife, we have beaches and we have water sports and adventure sports and of course the temple architecture. We also have the five UNESCO approved heritage sites.

Which segment are you promoting or focusing on this year?

See if you consider Top Resa, French or oriental tourists who are closer to the beach, for them we are highlighting the temple architecture and monumental values. They are not new to the beaches, and know pretty well about them. So here we talk about art, culture and heritage and also we have the connectivity of Puducherry which was once a French-occupied place. They can easily connect with the state of Tamil Nadu.

Is Tamil Nadu what they call the southern golden triangle? Are you working on that?

We need to delve into that. Actually golden triangle describes the Delhi-Jaipur-Agra triangle. So we can connect and frame more triangles like that and then promote it. We are also covering the entire Europe as a destination, so that we have more foreign arrivals. Also, Tamil Nadu is focusing on medical tourism. Chennai is one place known for best cost effective options available across the country. In India, Tamil Nadu can offer low-cost surgeries which we can facilitate and the people who are accompanying the patient can also stick around. We have thought of tourism promotion as well. While giving the treatment we are working on connecting the people with their concerned persons and also help them to look around. It is one area we can explore as we have a huge prospect in this.

What about ayurveda and yoga?

If we take Kerala into consideration Indian medicines have lot of treatment and rejuvenation centres as well as detoxification centres. Tamil Nadu too has a lot in this sector right now and we will be promoting it in the coming financial year in Mahabalipuram. We are working with a college of Indian medicines, that’s a government department. So we are planning for collaboration and in the next few months an immediate start of the centre in Mahabalipuram which is closer to Chennai.

Which are the countries you are focusing on for foreign tourists? What are your activities in the places?

Europe as a destination is something we can go for. We will be participating in the next upcoming foreign marts such as WTM London, ITB Berlin and others. We are planning to cover Spain and Europe as a whole and will be participating in all the trade shows like ITB, that is a big part of Tamil Nadu’s strategy.

One of the weaknesses of Indian states is that they touch base with the margin only once a year and that constant communication is absent. Do you plan to change this?

Yes, of course. You see tourism is one industry where you can’t shut all the doors and the visions. When you open up, you have enormous opportunities. It is not that only people from outside should come to our country. Our government has a corporation as well through which we want to have tie-ups with some other agencies which can facilitate the movement of tourists. It is not only the inflow of tourists, but those who are residing in Tamil Nadu as well who can go to other places so that building relations will be in a much healthier atmosphere and more and more people will come. We are looking forward towards building relations.
