In a candid interview with Travel And Tour World, Dr. Arabinda K Padhee, IAS, Commissioner cum secretary, Government of Odisha, India spoke about the various tourism aspects of the state. Odisha has mainly been a preferred tourist spot for domestic visitors and visiting ITB Berlin 2015 will definitely prove fruitful in attracting international tourists as well. Keeping the international tourism standard in mind, Odisha is developing the critical tourism infrastructure in all the tourist places as well as focusing on safe and honorable tourism. 2013 and 2014 saw 9.8 million and 10.08 million footfall of domestic tourists while the same respective years saw 65000-67000 and 77000 of international tourists. 2015 being the “year of spiritual travel” to India, Odisha is offering some spectacular events during the “Rath yatra” or the “car festival”, as commonly known to the non-colloquial traveler. Held generally during June-July every year, it draws a huge number of tourists (3-4 million) in a span of 10 -12 days and this year, it’s expected to be even more , around 5 million. Similar arrangements are being done by the government to provide enthralling experience. From biosphere reserves, ecotourism spots to natural sanctuaries and of course the 480km long coast line, Odisha boasts to house UNESCO heritage monuments. Tourists from all over the country can visit the state and Bhubaneswar, although being an international airport does not yet has foreign connectivity. The state is hopeful to connect Colombo, Bangkok, Singapore and Dubai in near future. Hit the Like button if you’re excited about the future of travel!
