Pimpri Chinchwad, an industrial hub in Pune, will be projected as a tourist destination. The Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation will draw up an integrated tourist centre development plan to attract visitors. It includes a deer park, a modern aquarium and water sports facilities, a regional science centre, parks, hill garden and a complete network of amusement and entertainment facilities for tourists.
Shrikar Pardeshi, Municipal Commissioner, Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation, said, "Pimpri Chinchwad is not a historical city like Pune with its heritage structures, palaces, and other old buildings. So we need to concentrate on creating amusement and entertainment facilities to attract tourists and mobility to facilitate their movement. A tourist centre development plan will be ready in two months." He said they would identify sites reserved in the development plan for amusement. "A site recommended for an amusement facility may not be the ideal one. So we will conduct a proper study of each site to find out its most suitable use," he added. The integrated tourist centre development plan will be implemented in the next three to four years. Pardeshi said that it will be implemented through civic funds and efforts will be made to get matching grants from the union and state governments "We want to develop a deer park, modern aquarium and water sports facilities in the city. The regional science centre at Chinchwad is nearly complete. We want to develop a network of amusement and entertainment facilities for tourists," Pardeshi said. The civic body plans to have a deer park at Talawade, as per a TOI report by Siddharth Gaikwad. It has been unable to get the land from the state government for the past three years. Pardeshi said, "We are trying to get the land. We want to develop a modern cost-effective aquarium," he said.
