My morning newspaper today says that our State Budget does not have much funds earmarked to boost tourism except for a very modest allocation to promote it in the North and the Coastal belt. Yes, the Northern reaches of our State do have some of the finest places of tourist interest worth promoting which have not received much attention by way of improved amenities and access so far. The news that Sudha Murty of Infosys Foundation has been appointed as the Chairperson of our Tourism Task Force comes like a breath of very fresh air.
