Maharashtra Ex-servicemen Corporation (MESCO) has envisaged to give a boost to ‘military tourism’ in the country through the Veer Yatra, stated Col (Retd) Suhas Jatkar, Managing Director of MESCO.
On offer is a range of specially designed holiday packages that could take tourists to military training academies, battlefields, high-altitude pickets, mountain passes such as Nathu La and Zoji La or border posts along the Line of Control.
MESCO has designed nine packages, ranging from two days to eight days, with the cost varying from Rs 6,100 to Rs 42,990 per head. The destinations are as diverse as naval forts in coastal Maharashtra to Gangtok-Darjeeling in the Northeast to Amarnath in the North, where there is a helicopter ride thrown in. The nine Veer Yatra tours started from May 12, 2016.
“Our idea is to cater to the entire spectrum of tourist. We have developed ‘Corporate Outbound Program @ Mahad’ wherein a corporate can easily do a MICE event,” said Col Jatkar.
“The project not only aims to give people the opportunity to experience the valour and glory of the military but also would be instrumental in inculcating a sense of patriotism among the citizens, in particular, the children and youth,” he added. The initiative would also provide meaningful and gainful employment to ex-servicemen and army widows.
