<h1>Government invites bids for eco-tourism resorts on four islands under public-private partnership model</h1> A government corporation invited bids for developing eco-tourism resorts on four Andaman Islands, including an uninhabited island being opened for tourism for the first time. The projects will be executed under public-private partnerships on a design, build, finance, operate, and transfer basis. Several major hospitality companies participated in a pre-bid meeting to discuss project details and seek clarifications. The administration plans to lease land parcels to the corporation for resort development, with investments ranging from approximately Rs 36 crore to Rs 391 crore and room capacities between 50 and 220. The initiative aims to promote sustainable, nature-led tourism and enhance the islands as a global destination. Bidding is scheduled for mid-September, with site visits planned for potential investors.
