Aurangabad, Aug 25:The vice-chancellor of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University (Bamu), Dr Pramod Yeole, has highlighted the need of providing adequate and tourist-centric facilities in Aurangabad. “There is a dire need for improvement in train, air and bus connectivity for the prosperity of our tourism. It has become easier to reach a foreign country in the air charges of Delhi and Mumbai cities. Efforts should also be made to promote medical tourism, agri-tourism and festival tourism of Aurangabad”.Yeole was addressing the audience after inaugurating the two-day 23rd national convention of the Tourist Guides Federation of India (TGFI), organised in the city, on Wednesday.
