In a major push to strengthen tourism infrastructure, Bhupendra Patel has approved ₹1,185 crore worth of road development projects across South Gujarat, aimed at enhancing connectivity to key tourist destinations.
The initiative focuses on widening and upgrading roads across multiple districts in the region, making travel to coastal areas, forests, and pilgrimage sites faster and more convenient, especially for visitors from cities like Ahmedabad, Vadodara, and Surat.
As part of the broader plan, 24 road projects covering around 383 km will be undertaken across districts including Surat, Bharuch, Navsari, Valsad, Tapi, and Dang-regions that play a crucial role in Gujarat’s economic and tourism landscape.
The upgraded infrastructure is expected to significantly improve access to popular destinations such as Saputara, Wilson Hills, and various religious and eco-tourism sites, giving a strong boost to weekend and domestic tourism.
Beyond tourism, the improved road network will also enhance connectivity to industrial hubs, logistics corridors, and agricultural markets, enabling smoother movement of goods and people while supporting sectors like textiles, chemicals, fisheries, and agriculture.
This strategic investment aligns with Gujarat’s long-term vision of positioning itself as a major tourism and economic growth hub, while strengthening last-mile connectivity and regional development across South Gujarat.
