Southern Splendour to weave magic for tourists

Stanley Theodore in Hyderabad
March 24. — Tourism ministers of the four southern states would meet here in the third week of April to thrash out the final details of the Southern Splendour — a two-decade-old dream of each of the states to have their own Palace on Wheels.
Tourism minister Dr J Geeta Reddy told The Statesman that the feasibility report sent to Centre has been accepted and the states have agreed in principle to pay Rs 10 crore each for the project. “Andhra Pradesh has taken the lead for southern cooperation in tourism and the trains would become a reality by 2006-end”, she said. Southern Splendour would be a 10-day tour and would cover major tourist spots. The meeting would finalize the train’s route. The train would be so structured that each state would be allowed to showcase itself.
The project is a pet dream of former chief minister Mr N Chandrababu Naidu. The state would also be launching its cruises to Andaman & Nicobar Islands passing through Chennai next year. “Andhra would be the first state to operate cruises. The Centre has approved it,” she said.
