Minister says tourism development authority for Mysuru proposed
Minister for Tourism, Ecology and Environment C.P. Yogeshwar said here on Friday that the vexed issue of streamlining inter-State road tax for tourist vehicles will be resolved with the standardisation of the tax slab.
He told reporters here the Centre has sent the draft proposal of the new policy to standardise and levy a uniform road tax across the country and this would be officially notified and rolled out in due course.
Once there is a single tax as part of one nation one tax policy, the long pending demand of the tourist operators to reduce or standardise the road tax will be automatically resolved, the Minister said.
Not even one demand of people’s representatives has been met, says KPCC spokesperson
The Congress has come down heavily on the BJP government in the State for ignoring Mysuru in the State Budget.
Addressing a press conference here on Tuesday, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) spokesperson M. Lakshmana said a host of people’s representatives from Mysuru including its MLAs, MP and even Minister in charge of the district S.T. Somashekar had made a series of representations to the government, listing at least 15 demands.
Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa, who presented the Budget, had not accepted even a single demand put forth by the representatives of Mysuru, he said.

Even as the stakeholders have resolved to continue their fight for tourism development despite the State Budget ‘failing’ to respond to their concerns, they are now mulling over setting up a “pressure group” for playing a key role in realising their wish list in the interest of tourism, and also influence the government in taking their ideas forward.
Certain projects are being sought by the stakeholders since decades but they are unable to get the budgetary sanction. The Dasara Authority and the plan for establishing round-the-year exhibition at Dasara expo grounds are among the proposals that failed to get the nod.

Mysore/Mysuru: Minister for Tourism, Ecology and Environment C.P. Yogeeshwar said that the State was committed to boost tourism to earn handsome revenue and to provide direct and indirect employment to lakhs of people.
“In any profession, there is a minimum qualification. Only in tourism there is no such mandatory rule where people can cash-in on just an idea,” he said.
Speaking after inaugurating Connect-2021, a stakeholder networking initiative, organised by the Department of Tourism and
Karnataka Tourism Society (KTS) at Hotel Radisson Blu in city last evening, the Minister said that the State gets a sizeable portion of revenue from tourism and along with this, many industries like the hotel industry, travel sector and allied professions survive.
