Therefore, the administration with other stakeholders, has planned the QR code initiative. The stakeholders were working on providing information about 30 tourist attractions in the district in Kannada and other prominent languages, the DC said.
While uploading the information, officials should ensure it was authentic and correct. They should collect all relevant details of tourist destinations. The initiative should help increasing tourists footfall in the district.
