AMID challenges in the tourism sector, despite it gradually recovering internationally, operators in Karnataka have struggled to retain their customers this year. Though significant investments have been made on tourism infrastructure, footfalls in the state have declined compared to previous years.
While popular destinations like Mysuru, Hampi, Gokarna, Kodagu, Badami, Dandeli and Chikkamagaluru witnessed decent visitor numbers, many other locations experienced a dip in tourist entries and inquiries.
One bright spot has been the state government's Shakti scheme, which offers free bus travel to women on government buses. It boosted footfalls to different places, especially religious destinations. The Saundatti Yellamma temple emerged as the most-visited spot this year, with Kollur and Dharmasthala also witnessing a surge in women devotees.
