Tamilnadu’s Congress Lok Sabha MP Vijay Vasanth presented an adjournment motion in Parliament on Wednesday, seeking the government to immediately consider the need for the development of Kanniyakumari/India as a tourist area. Stressing the economic relevance of the concept of tourism, Vasanth contended that a lack of infrastructure prevents the growth of the tourism sector. Tamil Nadu is one of the most colourful states in India, with monuments, architectural and historical values, along with natural beauty that draws millions of tourists to this state every year.

However, the current infrastructure is inadequate to meet the renewed passion that is evident currently,” MP Vijay Vasanth said in the notice that provoked the incident. Kanniyakumari, in the southern part of India, is among the most famous tourist destinations. It attracts tourists with its distinctive Vivekananda Rock Memorial, Thiruvalluvar Statue, and great view of the sunset. However, problems like the lack of facilities, bad accessibility, and lack of infrastructure for tourists have been a problem for a long time.
This kind of gap is what MP Vijay Vasanth‘s motion seeks to highlight and has urged the government to support sustainable tourism. This includes the provision of better means of transport, accommodation, conservation, and development of cultural and natural attractions, which would, in one way or another, improve the experiences of the visitors and consequently boost the economic gains of the area.
Tamil Nadu is among the top five states chosen for tourism in India, and possessing such potential if managed well, this sector has a wide scope for expansion. The adjournment motion encompasses a bigger prayer for the Government to give priority to the development of tourism and its infrastructure to bring lasting dividends to the economy and put India on the world tourist map.
