MANGALORE: There is a need to have a composite package for tourism in Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Kodagu districts, D.V. Sadananda Gowda, MP, said here on Tuesday.

Mr. Sadananda Gowda was addressing a gathering at a function organised to observe World Tourism Day by the Department of Business Administration, Mangalore University.

The MP said that providing infrastructure is a pre-requisite for the growth of tourism.

Tourists will hesitate to visit places that lack basic facilities. Tourism offers enough jobs and contributes to the growth of the region.

Growth-oriented

Mangalore University Vice-Chancellor B. Hanumaiah said that tourism will help in the growth of other sectors directly and indirectly.

T. Mallikarjunappa, Dean, Faculty of Commerce, said that terrorist activities will hinder the growth of tourism. A peaceful place will attract more tourists. P. Pakkeerappa, chairman, Department of Business Administration; and Mustiary Begum, co-ordinator, Master of Tourism Administration; spoke. Various competitions for students were held on the occasion.
