Satara
Satara District is situated in Western part of Maharashtra. The district offers opportunities to the tourists to visit the most beautiful natural places and also reveal its importance as a center of cultural significance. Several temples, Forts, Lakes, Dams, Museums as well as Sanctuaries make the district a wonderful place to visit. The district has world famous hot beds of Ecotourism namely Mahabaleshwar and Panchgani as 2 listed destinations of “A” type category. The Kas plateau in Javli Taluka which has been listed on UNESCO Bio-Diversity Heritage Site is an additional advantage to the District Tourism.
All these features have led to an increase in tourism growth. At the same time the locations which are popular are getting over saturated with the tourists. As a dispersal policy, there is a need to provide appropriate infrastructure and facilities at these alternate places, to make the tourist experience worthwhile.
The brand such as Mesmerizing Satara, Wonders of Satara, etc. can become a catch phrase to attract tourists
