In a major initiative to boost tourism, the Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC), will train
close to 200 locals to be destination guides.
MTDC has appointed Heritage India Communications Private Limited to design an outline for training the guides. Following the recommendations of the consultant, the tourism board has floated an Expression of Interest (EOI) interesting agencies who wish to train the guides.
Kishori Gadre, general manager for MTDC, said, “We want to ensure that the quality of training and modules are uniform across the state. Our regional offices across the state will coordinate with the training institutes who must be recognised by the competent authorities. In total about 200 guides will be prepared with up to date information about the destinations.”
