Mysuru: During the campaign for the May 2014 Lok Sabha polls, BJP’s Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi (now Prime Minister) had promised to make Mysuru a global tourist destination and said, “Mysuru will draw tourists like Paris.”
It is September 2018 now and though the promise of drawing tourists to Mysuru like Paris remains a distant dream, Mysuru being a global tourist destination has reached stakeholders in Paris, thanks to a team of officials from Karnataka State Tourism Development Corporation (KSTDC), Jungle Lodges and Resorts (JLR) and Karnataka Tourism Minister S.R. Mahesh who are showcasing Mysuru at IFTM - International French Travel Market – Paris.
