Udaipur is set to get another fillip as a tourist destination with the introduction of parasailing from November this year. This decision was taken in a district tourism development committee meeting today.

In the meeting chaired by Collector Rohit Gupta, deliberations were carried out on a wide variety of issues related to the development of Udaipur as a tourism destination. Some of the notable discussion elements include:

• initiating Parasailing facilities from November
• starting bike sharing in the city
• improving the night markets at fateh sagar and sukhadia circle and increasing the time
• removing hawkers and beggars in front of Saheliyon ki Bari gate
• making the city sight scene tour service provided by municipal corporation more organised
• registering and making a database of hawkers
• improving the traffic situation in the city
• specifying the no-vending and vending zones within the city

District collector was particularly upset about the dumping of waste in lakes by hotels and commanded a cancellation of licences of such hotels.

Discussions also took place around starting half day and full day sight seeing packages. Suggestions were also made around improving parking facilities within the city area.
