Dasara Authority, expansion of Mysuru airport, and other proposals ignored; no clarity on Film City project
The tourism industry in Mysuru appears saddened over the lack of impetus given to the sector in the budget presented by Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa. The stakeholders said the sector was in badly need of a stimulus through new initiatives, projects and higher allocation for rescuing it from the jolt of COVID-19 pandemic.

The idea of the Dasara authority never took off although it is always talked about whenever festivities approach.
Every year, ahead of the State Budget, the demand for a Mysuru Dasara Authority, a permanent body for organising the Dasara festivities in Mysuru, comes to the fore. And every time it gets no budget approval, forcing tourism stakeholders to press for the same demand next year.
This time too, the stakeholders, especially the Mysuru Hotel Owners’ Association, have urged Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa, who was in Mysuru on Saturday, to announce the authority. In addition, they have sought a Mysuru Tourism Development Authority with Mysuru being the State’s most preferred tourist hub and lakhs of people reliant on the sector for their livelihood. The idea of the Dasara authority never took off although it is always talked about whenever festivities approach.
