Pondicherry taking steps to invite foreign investment in tourism

Pondicherry, Sep 21 (UNI) The Pondicherry Government is taking steps to attract foreign investment in the tourism sector in the union territory, Tourism Minister Malladi Krishna Rao today said.

Talking to newspersons here, Mr Rao said he had recently visited Hong Kong and Singapore and attended conferences on tourism.

Several private parties in Singapore were ready to invest in the tourism sector here but their only demand was that the government should provide land near the airport along with road facilities, Mr Rao said.

Mr Rao and Chief Minister N Rangaswamy will be visiting Singapore shortly to finalise nearly 15 projects, including setting up of resorts hotels and parks.
