Special package for air travellers

By SNV Sudhir

Visakhapatnam, June 12, 2013: The Andhra Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation (APTDC), is keen on introducing a special package of Lord Balaji’s darsan and accommodation at hill shrine Tirumala for the air travelers to the temple town from the port city.

A similar Darshan and accommodation package is being offered in Hyderabad for air travelers. Spicejet, which cancelled its flight operations from Vizag to Tirupati a few months back due to poor response, is also said to be interested in re introducing its operations if APTDC agrees to launch this package.

Tourism officer SD Anita recently wrote to APTDC higher officials in Hyderabad about the demand for such package after it was raised by the members of various business associations and trade bodies a few days back at a meeting of local MP and union minister of state for commerce and industry, D Purandheswari.

The tour package for air travelers from Hyderabad to Tirupati includes visit to Srikalahasti, Alamelumangapuram and Tirumala darshan along with accommodation. APTDC would allot 40 percent of the rooms at Tirumala under their control for Vizag air passengers under the package.

“APTDC is very much interested in extending the Tirumala temple tour package that is offered at Hyderabad for Vizag air travelers. But there is no direct flight from here to Tirupati. If any airline is interested in launching its operations to Tirupati APTDC would immediately offer the same package,” said Anita.

Purandheswari on Wednesday wrote to tourism special chief secretary, Chandana Khan and tourism minister Vatti Vasant Kumar requesting possible action from their department on introducing the package.

“As Vizag is a major city attracting international and national investments, having this package will help showcase Vizag better and also help many senior citizens and other tourists.  I would like to inform that Vizag is very fast growing city in Andhra Pradesh with ever growing industrial, educational and tourism hub.  I would like to request you to take necessary action urgently in this regard so that to begin with about 100
