Amaravati to get a Rs 115 crore tourism push

The Andhra Pradesh government is planning for a Rs 115 crore tourism development in Amaravati. Amaravati Development Corporation Ltd (ADCL) is asked to identify private firms for development of two family entertainment centres (FECs) for Rs 30 crore each, one sports and recreation club for Rs 25 crore, and a resort for Rs 30 crore.

One of the family entertainment centres will come up in Sakhamuru village in two acres, and the other will be built in another two acres at Inavolu village. Inavolu will also house the resort and sports and recreation club in three and four acres respectively. While the ADCL has invited Request For Proposals (RFPs) for the projects under PPP model, prospective developers have sought the project feasibility reports.

The FECs would feature food courts, multiplexes and gaming zones. The sports and recreation club would have indoor stadium, indoor jogging track, outdoor and indoor gyms, courts for tennis, badminton, and squash, and others. The projects are expected to be completed in two years.
