Vizag’s VR Tourism Revolution: VMDA Unveils Arena, Hotel & Habitat Centre at Madhurawada
VMDA's tourism master plan spotlights transformative projects at Madhurawada, including the "Vizag Experience & Virtual Reality Arena," a three-star hotel, and East Coast Habitat Centre packed with VR time-travel experiences, gaming zones, a massive aquarium, multi-cuisine outlets, and versatile event spaces. These icons aim to redefine Visakhapatnam as a cutting-edge destination, blending tech-driven entertainment with hospitality to draw global visitors.
The VR Arena offers immersive journeys through Vizag's history via time-travel simulations, high-tech gaming arenas, and an expansive aquarium showcasing Bay of Bengal marine life. Complementing this, the three-star hotel provides modern stays with sea views, while the Habitat Centre integrates IT offices, business hubs, retail, auditoriums, and seminar halls for seamless work-leisure vibes. Designed in PPP mode with ₹470 crore investment, these facilities fast-track via RFPs to become operational soon.
These developments promise thousands of jobs in tourism, tech, and services, aligning with NITI Aayog's Bay City vision for a $135 billion economy by 2032. They enhance Vizag's appeal amid events like today's India-Sri Lanka women's T20 and ongoing IT booms at Cognizant and Infosys campuses. Local businesses from Madhurawada to Bheemili stand to thrive with increased footfall and real estate uplift.
Eco-friendly designs incorporate green energy and coastal resilience, countering pollution challenges through task force initiatives. Community benefits include skill training for youth, positioning Vizag as Andhra's tourism powerhouse. Follow vizagupdates.in for RFP updates and groundbreaking news.
