The Punjab is all set to be on international itinerary of Eco-Tourism with Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal envisioning such major projects at Chhatbir Zoological Park in district Ajitgarh and two others projects in district Ludhiana. Reviewing the progress of Eco-Tourism projects in the state, Badal said that Chhatbir Zoological Park with a population of 1200 animals of 90 rare species could be a major center of attraction if properly marketed and promoted. He also suggested that Punjab could also go in for Night Safari on the pattern of Jurong Night Safari at Singapore. Similarly, two more such sites for eco-tourism were identified in Ludhiana district. Impressing upon the need for making Punjab a destination for international tourism, Badal said that Chhatbir Park and Ludhiana district could be easily brought on international tourist circuit by optimum utilization of resources besides proper marketing and projection of these sites. It was decided that global bids would be invited to seek expression of interest from international agencies for prestigious eco-tourism projects.
