KAKINADA: Chopper tours for the Kakinada beach festival was formally launched by District Collector Kartikeya Mishra at the Police parade grounds here on Sunday.
The Collector said heli-tours would give tourists an aerial view of Kakinada city and the scenic seashore.
The collector along with a team of officials including joint Collector A Mallikarjuna, Rajahmahendravaram Sub-Collector Saikanth Varma, Assistant Collector Anand and Additional SP Damodar took a ride on the chopper to have an aerial view of beach festival arrangements.
Heli-tours will give Andhra Pradesh a leg up in the tourism map of India as only a few states have such facilities. This could make AP an investment destination also.
