The Maharashtra Cabinet on Wednesday cleared its caravan tourism policy under which special parks will be developed and use of vehicles will be regulated. Special parks will be set up for the caravans for which private or government land can be used by the owner or a developer. Special water, power and road connection will be provided to them including a tourist help desk. The park owner/developer will be responsible for the safety of the tourists. They can be developed on the land available with the Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation hotels and open spaces with agriculture tourism centres etc. Local civic bodies will provide the permissions.
