Nagpur New Hub For Tiger Tourism

Nagpur, the second capital of Maharashtra is all set to attain the status of an eco-tourism destination.
Embellished with many historical monuments and significant tourist spots, both Nagpur city and its surrounding area that is Vidarbha region has immense potential to be one of the popular eco-tourism centre of India.

But, due to Government negligence, these scenic places are still remain in veil and far from the touch of tourism sector. Recently, Villas Muttemwar, MP of Nagpur city has started initiatives to make Nagpur an popular eco-tourism destination. He is also keping no stone unturned to develop Nagpur as a hub for Tiger tourism in India, as the nearby areas to this city has a numerous Tiger reserves.

Some of the virgin wildlife sanctuaries of India such as Tadoba Andhari, Pench, Nagzira, Melaghat, Navegaon and Bor are positioned 70 to 150 km from Nagpur. But, the famous Kanha National Park and Bandhavgarh National Park are also easily accessible from Nagpur. So, this city of Maharashtra can also serve as a gateway to Tiger land.

It is assumed that if both Nagpur and Vidarbha region gets proper promotion as a wildlife and adventure tourism destination and necessary infrastructure than it would surely attract a large number of tourists. This in turn would help the localities to get employment in tourism industry. As, it is presently the world's number one industry.
