Background
I am a trek and camping organizer, and am based out of Pune. I have sought to promote such tourism in pristine parts of my home state Odisha, which has been vastly ignored by conventional and unconventional tourists YET
Situation
Upon approaching state Tourism officials, we got no interest from their side
My team is working on developing camping + adventure themed trips to attract the tourist’s attention towards the rich flora of our state
Detailed Plan
Initial pilot is planned to be done 60 kms outside Bhubaneswar. We have planned to offer camping, fishing (welcome to east), barbecue, rapelling and paramotoring opportunities, to align with interests of a diverse type of travellers.
Costing
Required expenditure:
Training staff - 2 months - 1.2lacs
Equipment - 2 lacs (excluding paramotor) 6.5 lacs (including paramotor)
Where your role comes in
I have been saving up for covering the training costs, but my team would need YOUR help in getting us our equipments
The impact statement
We all love to help stray dogs, help estranged parts of society or maybe help out a cancer patient who’s doctor told them to set their affairs in order.
How about empowering a handful of rural youth from one of our backward states and give them an alternate livelihood? We believe these rural associates of ours will set a trend for others to follow.
You dont need to be low wage labourer in the city while you can work in a blosomming tourism industry.
And you have a role to play in kick starting this. Odisha has waited long enough!
Who are we
Married to our jobs and committed to our goal, at the same time. We are NIT Trichy graduates, working in consulting and doubling up trek and camp organizers in weekends. We are devoting time to this instead of focusing on MBA goals because we believe out plans are solid after proofreading them with several experts.
We just need the push now
