CHANDIGARH: Haryana Government on Thursday said the state Tourism Department has set a record by registering revenue receipt of Rs 172 crore during the last financial year.
The Department was also planning to convert tourist complexes as venues for theme parties and adventure camping, Haryana Tourism Minister Kiran Chaudhary said here in a meeting with the senior officers of the Department and incharges of various tourist complexes.
The minister said the turnover had showed a net increase of 12 per cent as compared to last year.
She said, it was an astounding achievement as the Department was once running into losses consecutively from the year 1996 to 2001.
Operational profit of Department has also doubled at Rs 3 crore, compared to 2004-05, she said.
There was an increase of 76 per cent in occupancy in the complexes, which was highest during the past one decade, because the Department was competing well vis-a-vis its counterparts in private sector, she said.
