The Tourism department has welcomed various decisions approved in the meeting of the state cabinet on Friday.
Tourism secretary Dilip Jawalkar said that with the tourist incentive coupon scheme being approved, the tourists who make e-booking for at least three days will receive Rs 1,000 discount. Further, the helipad at Kedarnath will be expanded to 100 x 50 metres.
This will enable the heavy lift Chinook helicopter to land here. The cabinet also approved the proposal to return Rs 1.85 crore to tourists who had made advance booking in Corbett. In addition to this, the cabinet also approved raising the height of Maya Devi and Bhairav Devi temples of the Juna Akhada.
