Recognition of the state’s adventure tourism policy.

The state’s adventure tourism policy was approved at a cabinet meeting here today. The meeting was chaired by Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. This policy will not apply to all types of competitive adventure sports such as jeep safaris and nature trips in wildlife sanctuaries. 

According to the policy, the organizers of adventure tourism in the state will be given a temporary registration certificate from the Directorate of Tourism and a final registration certificate after obtaining all the required qualifications. Adventure tourism organizers will need to be vigilant as per the provisions mentioned in the policy regarding the safety of tourists. State-level committees and divisional level committees will be constituted for the effective implementation of adventure tourism policy. These committees will consist of experts in land, air and water tourism. Detailed and detailed safety guidelines for conducting adventure tourism activities in a safe and disciplined manner will be made available on the Department of Tourism’s website www.maharashtratourism.gov.in.
