Single-window clearance of tourism investments in Andhra Pradesh

Andhra Pradesh will consider all tourism investments in the state as industrial ventures and will offer single-window clearance, informed N. Chandrababu Naidu, Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. He was speaking at a meeting that he chaired to finalise the state’s tourism policy. Andhra Pradesh will also look at setting up dedicated police stations for tourists, and a round-the-clock call centre for tourists in the state.

The Chief Minister said that tourism projects would be treated as industrial ventures and single-desk clearances would be granted to them within 21 days. The Naidu also assured special tariff for power usage for tourism projects. Suggesting the department to focus on attracting international tourists, Naidu told the officials to get tourist operators on board and work with them.

The state will explore opportunities in water sports, Beach Tourism, Spiritual Tourism, Ecotourism, Caravan Tourism,  and Heli-Tourism. Emphasising on the need to promote Telugu culture, he suggested that Kuchipudi and other local and tribal art forms, and dances be promoted through various carnivals on a large scale.
