Cruise for the economy
Data suggests that the previous year witnessed 1.5 Lakh people boarding cruise ships out of the 2.6 crores of people that ventured abroad. Despite having surrounded by massive oceans and boasting one of the largest coastlines of over 7500 km India only has 128 ports as compared to Japan and China that boast 2400 and 1100 coast lines respectively. It is now time to utilize the Indian coastline effectively to boost the nation’s revenue. Experts suggest a successful utilization with optimum infrastructure at the ports can boost India’s revenue by 50 percent.
Those voyaging aboard the Angriya will be able to witness spectacular views of the largely unexplored by tourism, western waters while journeying through Angriya Cruise from Mumbai to Goa.
