1 Introduction1.1 Assignment BriefIL&FS Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd (IL&FS IDC) has been appointed as the National

Level Consultant by Ministry of Tourism, for identification of tourism circuits / destinations in the states

and union territories (excluding states in the North East) for implementation in the 12thfive year plan. The

identified circuits / destinations are proposed to be developed in an integrated manner with financial

assistance from the central government supported by appropriate involvements of the state governments

and the private sector. This process has been initiated with the selection of existing/new tourist circuits (4

in each state and 2 in Union Territories). These circuits have been structured considering the length,

duration and connectivity and finalised based on discussions with the tourism departments of the specific

states.

After the identification and prioritisation of these circuits, the next step is to identify the basic and tourism

related infrastructural and promotional needs of the identified circuits, which are to be implemented on

priority basis, along with the tentative cost estimates. These projects should be related to development of

basic as well as tourism related infrastructure. Thereafter, Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) will be

prepared by the State Level Consultant for the projects identified along with their financial projections.

After the initial screening, the circuits identified were discussed with the State Government (Departmentof Tourism), representatives of Travel & Tourism Industry and other stakeholders. On the basis of these

consultations, tourism circuits have been shortlisted. In order to understand existing capacity of the

shortlisted circuits as well as destinations, a detailed carrying capacity assessment has been done. This

assessment is, primarily, based on the residential and tourist population densities of the town/cities.

Based on the above exercise, four circuits have been identified and prioritised. The circuits have been

prioritized after consultations with the stakeholders and based on the popularity, tourists flow pattern and

perceived need for improvements/investments to basic and tourism infrastructure. In this report, the

circuit identified as the priority circuit by the state government in terms of potential and requirement for

infrastructure development has been selected for further study.

The assessment has been carried out to understand the significance of the identified sites from a tourist

perspective and to map the availability of tourism infrastructure. The typical infrastructure required

includes facilities at entry-exit points, accommodation, way-side amenities, physical & social

infrastructure, public utilities as well as health & security. This assessment is based on reconnaissance

survey done along the route, wayside and on site of the priority circuit. The focus of the assessment has

been on the following areas:

1) M d f T i d d il d h


7/78


8/78


State of approach roads to some of the tourism destinations is an issue for tourists visiting thetourism destinations in terms of maintenance and carriage way.

Cleanliness and waste management is an issue in some of the beach destinations Need to provide adequate safety measures such as lifeguards in some of the beaches due to strong

currents in the sea and isolated nature

Lack of quality accommodation facilities near the tourism destinations away from the urban areas Need for coordinate development of tourism infrastructure by the DoT and the specific district

administration

1.4.3 Opportunities Significant potential for development of beach tourism, given that Karnataka shares the same

coastline with Goa and Kerala.

Potential for promotion of backwater tourism, which is in a nascent stage in Karnataka

Significant interest in the private sector for tourism projects especially near the coast Growth of tourism would enable better economic opportunities for people living on the sea coast

1.4.4 Threats Need to balance the development possible with CRZ regulations along the sea coast Waste management and cleanliness is an issue for some of the popular beaches and needs to be

managed, given the potential increase in tourists

destinations from the entry-exit points. The latter sections of the study report provides information on

prospective projects in the circuits that can be taken up for infrastructural up-gradation. These projects

have been proposed on the basis of identified deficiencies and perceived need to accommodate the tourist

inflow into the circuits/destinations.

2 Brief Profile of the State2.1 IntroductionThe state of Karnataka was established in the year 1956, under the States Reorganisation Act. The state

was originally called the state of Mysore and later renamed Karnataka in 1973. Karnataka is one of the

four major southern states of India and shares boundaries with Andhra Pradesh, Goa, Kerala, Maharashtra

and Tamil Nadu.

Karnataka is the eighth largest

state in the Indian union and

hosts 5% of the national

population. The state is the

largest base for the IT / ITES

sector and is also a majorinvestment destination for

other sectors such as

biotechnology, aerospace,

automobile, engineering,

sericulture and floriculture,

seems to have been reversed in 2011, where for the first time international visitor numbers are higher than

in 2005. The Figure 6 shows the overall contribution of Karnataka to the India tourism figures. Due to the

high growth seen in 2011, the contribution of Karnataka to domestic and international tourist is almost

double the figures for 2009 (lowest in the overall period considered). The key challenge for Karnataka

tourism would be to maintain the growth trajectory that started in 2010.

2.3.3 AirportsKarnataka has two major airports operating at Bangalore and Mangalore. Bangalore is the majorinternational airport in the state. In addition to the above two airports, Mysore airport has been open for

services since 2010. The state is also taking initiatives to develop and expand airports at Belgaum,

Shimoga, Gulbarga, Bijapur, Hassan and Hubli.

2.3.4 Tourist accommodationIt is estimated that there are around 3000 hotels and restaurants in Karnataka based on discussions with

officials of the DoT. The number of approved hotels in Karnataka at the end of 2009 was 53. Apart from

the major hubs such as Bangalore and Mysore, there is a requirement for increasing tourism

accommodation facilities at major tourism destinations across Karnataka. The DoT has been making

efforts to promote the development of home stays at tourism destinations such as hill stations to meet the

requirement for accommodation. In the addition the KSTDC has also been developing and operating

accommodation facilities at different tourism destinations. The DoT has also identified the need todevelop wayside amenities across the state. For this purpose the DoT proposes to develop wayside

amenities in destinations between Sringeri & Chickmagalur and Bellary & Hiriyur.

3 Initial screening of the Tourism Circuits3.1 Based on secondary researchOn the basis of the discussions with the state tourism department and stakeholder interactions with the

travel and tour industry, the following tourism themes were identified.

Heritage and culture - Hampi, Badami, Pattadakal, Aihole, Mysore palace, Srirangapatana etc Wild life and forests - National parks at Bandipur, BR Hills, Rajiv Gandhi National Park,

Kudremukh National Park etc

BeachesMangalore, Karwar, Gokarna, Malpe etc Adventure sports- white water rafting (Dandeli, Kemphole, Sitanadi, Netravati), rock

climbing (Ramnagar near Bangalore, Badami), trekking (Shimoga, Chikmagalur, Hassan,

Kodagu ), angling( Cauvery fishing camp), aero sports (Hebbal in Bangalore) etc .Hill

stations and scenic spots- Coorg, Chickmagalur, Agumbe BR Hills, Nandi Hills, Jog falls etc

City tourism & MICE tourism- Bangalore and MysoreBased on further discussions with the DoT, Karnataka, the following tourism circuits were identified for

development.

29/78


3.2.1 Tourist profileThe type of tourist visiting a destination depends on the nature of destination. They can be broadly

categorized into domestic and international tourists. This further affects the physical and socio-economic

development of a destination as spending patterns determine the related multiplier effects. It also governs

the type and scale of infrastructure required.

3.2.2 Capacity and sustainabilityThe carrying capacity

1

assessment and sustainability of tourism in the circuits identified is an important

component of the study as it will form the basis for resource allocation and future development. The

carrying capacity assessment has been done separately for the circuits, based on city population (resident),

population density and tourist population and density (floating population). The estimation has been done

by comparing the total density with the city density norms for small, medium and large town / cities set

by Urban Development Plan Formulation and Implementation Guidelines (UDPFI). Only such places

have been considered that can offer a sustainable value proposition to the tourists such that when tourism

products are offered in those places, they can be maintained as well.

3.2.3 Travel and tourGenerally, tour operators organize trips in such a way that only popular sites can be covered in a given

period of time. This practice creates more pressure on such destinations. Therefore, while selecting the

4 Stakeholder Consultation4.1 Government of KarnatakaAfter the initial identification of tourism circuits, discussions were held with the officials of the

Department of Tourism, Karnataka and other stakeholders such as tour operators for short-listing the four

priority circuits. The DoT has already developed detailed project reports for some of the major circuits

identified, where there is a major shortfall in available tourism infrastructure. Hence based on the

discussions, the following tourism circuits and destinations have been identified for further study.

4.1.1 Four major tourism circuits1. Circuit 1: Coastal Karnataka tourism circuit comprising tourism destinations in and around

Mangalore, Udupi, rest of Dakshina and Uttara Kannada along the coastline extending up to

Rural Tourism Cluster 2: The cluster includes the Sandur (traditional handicrafts, stone carving,Lambani embroidery with Geographical Indicator registration), Kinhal (traditional wood carving

& toys with Geographical Indicator registration, murals & wall hangings), Ilkal (handlooms &

saris with Geographical Indicator registration, red stone carving) and Torvi (cultivation of

grapes, wine making, cashew processing).

4.2 Carrying Capacity AnalysisTourism carrying capacity (TCC) is defined as the maximum number of people that may visit the touristdestination without causing destruction of the physical, economic and socio cultural environment and an

unacceptable decrease in the quality of visitors satisfaction.(Alvin Chandy, 2009). The assessment of

TCCis based on three major indicators:

Physical-Ecological Socio-Demographic Political- Economic.

1. Physical and Ecological Indicators are based on fixed components (ecological capacity,assimilative capacity) and flexible components (infrastructure systems like water supply,

electricity, transportation, etc).

2. Socio -demographic Indicators refer to social and demographic issues and importance to localcommunities, as they relate to the presence and growth of tourism. Some of these can be

Step 4. Domestic Tourist Density (DT):This was evaluated by diving Average numberof tourist staying per day during peak season by area of tourist town in hectares.

DT = PS / Area

c. Foreign Touri st Density(FT): This was derived as follows:Step 1. Foreign Tourist Arrival (TF): Foreign tourist arrivals during peak season

(days) was determined

Step 2. Tourist stay days in peak seasons (TFSP): Foreign tourist arrival wasmultiplied by average number of day of stay for tourist at that tourist town.

TFSP = TF * Stay Average Days

Step 3. Average number of tourist staying per day during peak season(FSP) : Thiswas evaluated by diving the number of tourist stay days per season by the number of

days comprising the peak season

FSP= Stay Average Days/ Days Peak Season

Step 4. Foreign Tourist Density:This was evaluated by diving Average number oftourist staying per day during peak season by area of tourist town in hectares.

Source: UDPFI Guidelines, 1996

The densities suggested by the UDPFI guidelines as shown in the table above are for the standard cases.

Tourist towns which vary from highly eco-sensitive sanctuaries to highly dense pilgrimage places have

specific characteristics and carrying capacities. Thus, UDPFI densities need to be adjusted to account for

these factors, which is done with the help ofNormalizing Density ()

Normalizing Density ()

Normalizing density is evaluated as follows:

1. Sites were evaluated on a normalizing index (Ni) of range -10 to +10-10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10


35/78


(EEA Countries, Dec, 2001)Normalizing Density ()was calculated by multiplying a factor of 10pph by the Normalizing index.

Normalizing Density () = 10* Ni

(The value of 10pph was derived by establishing the boundary conditions of lower and upper sustainable

densities for tourist towns of the relevant categories. To establish the lower limit, reference was made to

the capacity norms cited by World Tourism Organization WTO (Inskeep, 1991). The upper limit was

established by determining the densities for saturated tourist towns.)

The Normalizing index (Ni) was evaluated as follows: Each of the applicable indicators for the

corresponding thematic area (to which the tourist destination/circuits belong) was ranked on a scale of 0-

10. The average of the indicators would give the value of the Normalizing index (Ni).

Carrying Capacity Density (CCD) was calculated by summing up the Upper Limit of the relevant

5 Existing Infrastructure Status5.1 Introduction to the Circuit 1The destinations in Circuit 1 are located across the districts of Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara

Kannada, which cover the major coastal regions of Karnataka. The tourism destinations identified

consists of a number of major and emerging destinations. The city of Mangalore is the largest urban

centre in the circuit and the natural entry point cum hub for the destinations in Circuit 1. Given the

geographic spread of the tourism destinations, there are other towns which can be secondary hubs cum

accommodation points in addition to Mangalore, namely Udupi and Karwar. The Circuit 1 forms a

longitudinal circuit along the Karnataka coastline with the distance between both ends being around 290

kilometres.

Circuit (Circuit 1). For example, Murudeshwar is noted primarily as a pilgrim destination along with the

beach. However in the discussion on the Priority Circuit, the infrastructure gap assessment would be

primarily carried out for the beach development, with the temple infrastructure gap assessment identified

separately in the Circuit 4. Therefore the net tourism infrastructure development envisaged in the Circuit

1 would include the projects identified in this report and the religious destinations identified in the Circuit

4, which fall within the regions identified in Circuit 1.

5.1.1 Major Tourism ProductsThe major tourism products in the Circuit 1 can be categorised as given below:

BeachesThalapady beach, beaches in Mangalore (Ullal, Panambur, Thanner bhavi, Someshwar,Sasihithlu, Surathkal), Kaup (Kapu) beach, Malpe beach, Trasi & Maravanthe beaches,

Murudeshwar beach, Apsara Konda beach, beaches in Gokarna (Om, Kudle)

BackwatersBappanad (Mulki), Mattu (Matti), Barkur, Gangoli / Rajadi Islands- St. Marys Island, Netrani Island Scenic spots- Pilikula in Mangalore (including Biological Park, Zoo, Science Center, Cultural

Artisan Village, Water Park), Yana rock formations
