Mysuru: To promote Mysuru on international tourism circuit, Department of Tourism released a ‘Brand Mysuru’ logo, with a tagline “Our Heritage Your Destination” on Sunday.
Tourism Minister H K Patil released the logo at Zilla Panchayat hall in the city, in a first of it’s kind initiative by the State Government.
The logo is created by Raghavendra L A, a Mysurean, whose design won the first prize in the contest conducted by the Tourism Department.
Patil said “It is a big step to brand Mysuru, which brings immense benefits. It is aimed at attracting international tourists, to know the history better.”
It is common to visualise Mysuru as ‘City of Palaces’, but still there are many more tourist attractions to explore, like we see in other parts of the world. The British have the intricately carved idols of Belur and Halebeed in their museum. The State Government will make honest efforts to bring them back, assured Patil.
Deputy Commissioner Dr K V Rajendra said “Apart from Palace and zoo, there are 24 more tourist attractions in Mysuru district that have to be shown to the world. The main tourist attractions are not limited to Dasara and Palace, but there is also other tourist attractions like Talkad, Somanathpur and other spots.”
The district administration is ready to provide basic infrastructural facilities and a proposal has been submitted to the government in this regard.
MLAs D S Ravishankar and Darshan Dhruvanarayan, MLC C N Manjegowda, Joint Director of Tourism Department M K Savitha, Zilla Panchayat Chief Executive Officer K M Gayatri, Commissioner of Department of Archaeolog, Museums and Heritage, Devaraju, Assistant Director of Information and Public Relations Department T K Harish Kumar were present.
