Mysuru: Ahead of Dasara celebrations, a promotional film ‘Visit Mysuru’ will attempt to woo more tourists to the City of Palaces. The film being produced by a noted travel agent in collaboration with Tourism Deparment and district administration is expected to showcase the specialties of Mysuru beyond the known places.

We will picture a contrast of shopping avenues from Devaraja market to Devaraj Urs road to latest malls in Mysuru and world class accommodation like Lalit Mahal Palace hotel. We will also be showcasing Mysuru pak to Mysuru betel leaves. Also we will be featuring the art, culture and tradition of Mysuru and Mysuru Painting, Yoga, traditional dances including Bharathnatyam, folk dances like Kamsale,” Kerala based Director Mr Ali Ellil said.
While the shoot for the movie began on Tuesday, they plan to launch it on 27th of this month. The movies will be released in several versions, lasting five minutes, two minutes and 30, 20 and ten seconds. Mysuru is the the top 1 tourist destination in the entire State, but lags behind other places in the country. It lacks marketing of its tourism potential and promotional movie with professional touch.
"Foreign tourists are declining trend since past three years. With the movie, I am sure the tourism revenue will double in a year,” Mr Prashanth B. S, the Producer of the movie and Owner of Safe wheels and Spice Trips, said.
Even though Mysuru is the top tourist destination, there are 90 spots around the city which remain unexplored and can retain tourists for a longer period of time.
