Tour Operators Criticize Telangana Tourism Policies
Tour operators and travel agents in Telangana are unhappy with the government's tourism policies.
They say that just making policies is not enough.
The government needs to focus on building good tourism infrastructure and marketing the state's tourist spots better.
They also say that the government should involve all stakeholders, like tour operators and travel agents, in making these policies.
They gave examples like the Miss World Pageant, which was not well-organized, and the Statue of Equality, which is not well-known.
They also pointed out problems like no toilets at Charminar and no parking at Chowmahalla Palace.
They want the government to learn from states like Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh, which have done a good job of marketing their tourist spots.
Tour operators and travel agents criticize Telangana's tourism policies for lacking focus on infrastructure and marketing.

The Miss World Pageant in Telangana was poorly organized and not well-promoted, according to the operators.
