The Sindhudurg Guide, an initiative launched by Nitesh Narayan Rane, Chief of Swabhimaan Sanghatana, earlier this year to promote and sustain tourism in Sindhudurg district and provide employment to the local youth, introduced four products on World Tourism Day on September 27 this year.
At the launch of the new products, Rane inaugurated the Malvan Tourist Facility Counter at Malvan beach to provide assistance to tourists for booking hotels, cars, guides, water sports and sightseeing services. With 50 trained guides, The Sindhudurg Guide also launched their website -

They also introduced a special package, Guided Sightseeing Tours, offering a guided tour to various destinations like Malvan, Devbaug and Tarkarli; Sawantwadi and Amboli; Devgad and Vengurla, at Rs 599 per person per tour.
