In the midst of Coronavirus, the tourism sector is one of the worst-hit. Even though traveling is not on the list of people at the moment, states are coming up with new ways to attract tourists.

In the first phase of the project, the shacks will be built at Kunkeshwar and Tarkarli in Sindhudurg, Versoli, and Diveagar in Raigad, Guhagar, and Arevare in Ratnagiri, and Kelve and Bordi in Palghar district. The people interested in putting up shacks can apply through the state tourism website. For everything related to the shacks, priority will be given to the locals of that place. The project aims at giving 80% of jobs that will be generated from the project to locals.
