KSRTC has already started new bus service <I>Survarna Karnataka Sarige</I>, (the new buses have nice leg room).<BR/><BR/>If we look back at last 50 years, there many ppl of Karnataka who have excelled in various fields ( not only IT). In Literature we have 7 gynapeet award winners. In movies how can one forget contribution of Dr. Raj. In field of science Raja Rammana, CNR Rao, UR Rao have contributed. In industry we have Narayan Murthy. In Sports B.S Chandrashekar, G Viswanath, Anil Kumble, Javagal Srinath, Mahesh Bhupathi. Latest to this list is Pankaj Advani who recently was awarded Rajeev Gandhi Khel Ratna.<BR/><BR/>Karnataka was everything from waterfalls, beaches, santuries, temples to trekking spots.<BR/>There are many more places other than Shravanabelagola and Hampi.<BR/>Gokarna, Karwar, Coorg can be added to list of places metioned in your post which can be projected as tourist destination. <BR/>If marketed properly scenic beaches of Gokarna can give those of Goa run for their money. (many places in Goa are junk and hyped up).<BR/><BR/>Tourism department has taken step in direction with punchline <B> One State Many Worlds</B>. Forest department has taken initiave by promoting eco tourism in MM Hills, BR Hills places were once Veerappan Trails. Eco tourism is a better option rather than commercialisation, the latter one pollutes the place.<BR/><BR/>One more thing i can suggest to Karnataka tourism department is to create one more tourist hub other than Bangalore at center of Karnataka, so that less time spent on travelling. shimoga can be a better place which is equidistant from all major tourist spots.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30097073.post-1158906167092624832006-09-22T11:52:00.000+05:302006-09-22T11:52:00.000+05:30> Another industry which needs a boost is the tourism industry...<BR/>Actually I like the fact that tourism is not that much publicized by Karnataka govt, just because we will be able retain some unexplored places...Shridharhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08922805460611596076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30097073.post-1158840909518602872006-09-21T17:45:00.000+05:302006-09-21T17:45:00.000+05:30Kudos for your memory and analytical skills. You remember with perfect precision everything we once read in primary school history books...<BR/><BR/>well timed and thoughtful post. Consider installing Baraha and posting in Kannada-it'll give a better sense of belonging...<BR/><BR/>Sad thing is we're loosing a bit of Karnataka to other states-officially or unofficially- Kasargod to Kerala, Belgaum to Maharastra etc... No political will to stop that...Shrinidhi Handehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00875443161762278339noreply@blogger.com
