12 Islands Project Approved to Boost Coastal Tourism in Udupi and South Karnataka
The government has approved a public‑private partnership plan to develop twelve islands along the coast and riverbanks of Udupi and South Karnataka as eco‑friendly tourist destinations.
The state government has given the green light to a project that will develop twelve islands into environmentally sustainable tourist spots under a public‑private partnership (PPP) model. The islands are located along the coastal stretch and riverbanks of Udupi and the southern part of Karnataka.
The initiative aims to promote coastal tourism while preserving the natural ecosystem of the islands. By leveraging private sector expertise and investment, the project seeks to create facilities that attract visitors without compromising environmental integrity.
Officials said the development will include basic infrastructure, eco‑friendly amenities, and promotional activities to position the islands as attractive destinations for both domestic and international tourists. The plan is expected to generate employment opportunities for local communities and boost the regional economy.
Implementation will be monitored by relevant authorities to ensure compliance with environmental standards and sustainable tourism practices. The project is slated to commence later this year, pending final clearances and tender processes.
