Interim Report- Karnataka Priority Circuit
1 Introduction1.1 Assignment BriefIL&FS Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd (IL&FS IDC) has been appointed as the National
Level Consultant by Ministry of Tourism, for identification of tourism circuits / destinations in the states
and union territories (excluding states in the North East) for implementation in the 12thfive year plan. The
identified circuits / destinations are proposed to be developed in an integrated manner with financial
assistance from the central government supported by appropriate involvements of the state governments
and the private sector. This process has been initiated with the selection of existing/new tourist circuits (4
in each state and 2 in Union Territories). These circuits have been structured considering the length,
duration and connectivity and finalised based on discussions with the tourism departments of the specific
states.
After the identification and prioritisation of these circuits, the next step is to identify the basic and tourism
related infrastructural and promotional needs of the identified circuits, which are to be implemented on
priority basis, along with the tentative cost estimates. These projects should be related to development of
basic as well as tourism related infrastructure. Thereafter, Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) will be
prepared by the State Level Consultant for the projects identified along with their financial projections.

Interim Report- Karnataka Priority Circuit
After the initial screening, the circuits identified were discussed with the State Government (Departmentof Tourism), representatives of Travel & Tourism Industry and other stakeholders. On the basis of these
consultations, tourism circuits have been shortlisted. In order to understand existing capacity of the
shortlisted circuits as well as destinations, a detailed carrying capacity assessment has been done. This
assessment is, primarily, based on the residential and tourist population densities of the town/cities.
Based on the above exercise, four circuits have been identified and prioritised. The circuits have been
prioritized after consultations with the stakeholders and based on the popularity, tourists flow pattern and
perceived need for improvements/investments to basic and tourism infrastructure. In this report, the
circuit identified as the priority circuit by the state government in terms of potential and requirement for
infrastructure development has been selected for further study.
The assessment has been carried out to understand the significance of the identified sites from a tourist
perspective and to map the availability of tourism infrastructure. The typical infrastructure required
includes facilities at entry-exit points, accommodation, way-side amenities, physical & social
infrastructure, public utilities as well as health & security. This assessment is based on reconnaissance
survey done along the route, wayside and on site of the priority circuit. The focus of the assessment has
been on the following areas:

State of approach roads to some of the tourism destinations is an issue for tourists visiting thetourism destinations in terms of maintenance and carriage way.
Cleanliness and waste management is an issue in some of the beach destinations Need to provide adequate safety measures such as lifeguards in some of the beaches due to strong
currents in the sea and isolated nature
Lack of quality accommodation facilities near the tourism destinations away from the urban areas Need for coordinate development of tourism infrastructure by the DoT and the specific district
administration
1.4.3 Opportunities Significant potential for development of beach tourism, given that Karnataka shares the same
coastline with Goa and Kerala.
Potential for promotion of backwater tourism, which is in a nascent stage in Karnataka
Significant interest in the private sector for tourism projects especially near the coast Growth of tourism would enable better economic opportunities for people living on the sea coast
1.4.4 Threats Need to balance the development possible with CRZ regulations along the sea coast Waste management and cleanliness is an issue for some of the popular beaches and needs to be
managed, given the potential increase in tourists

prospective projects in the circuits that can be taken up for infrastructural up-gradation. These projects
have been proposed on the basis of identified deficiencies and perceived need to accommodate the tourist
inflow into the circuits/destinations.

seems to have been reversed in 2011, where for the first time international visitor numbers are higher than
in 2005. The Figure 6 shows the overall contribution of Karnataka to the India tourism figures. Due to the
high growth seen in 2011, the contribution of Karnataka to domestic and international tourist is almost
double the figures for 2009 (lowest in the overall period considered). The key challenge for Karnataka
tourism would be to maintain the growth trajectory that started in 2010.

2.3.3 AirportsKarnataka has two major airports operating at Bangalore and Mangalore. Bangalore is the majorinternational airport in the state. In addition to the above two airports, Mysore airport has been open for
services since 2010. The state is also taking initiatives to develop and expand airports at Belgaum,
Shimoga, Gulbarga, Bijapur, Hassan and Hubli.
2.3.4 Tourist accommodationIt is estimated that there are around 3000 hotels and restaurants in Karnataka based on discussions with
officials of the DoT. The number of approved hotels in Karnataka at the end of 2009 was 53. Apart from
the major hubs such as Bangalore and Mysore, there is a requirement for increasing tourism
accommodation facilities at major tourism destinations across Karnataka. The DoT has been making
efforts to promote the development of home stays at tourism destinations such as hill stations to meet the
requirement for accommodation. In the addition the KSTDC has also been developing and operating
accommodation facilities at different tourism destinations. The DoT has also identified the need todevelop wayside amenities across the state. For this purpose the DoT proposes to develop wayside
amenities in destinations between Sringeri & Chickmagalur and Bellary & Hiriyur.

3.2.1 Tourist profileThe type of tourist visiting a destination depends on the nature of destination. They can be broadly
categorized into domestic and international tourists. This further affects the physical and socio-economic
development of a destination as spending patterns determine the related multiplier effects. It also governs
the type and scale of infrastructure required.
3.2.2 Capacity and sustainabilityThe carrying capacity
1
assessment and sustainability of tourism in the circuits identified is an important
component of the study as it will form the basis for resource allocation and future development. The
carrying capacity assessment has been done separately for the circuits, based on city population (resident),
population density and tourist population and density (floating population). The estimation has been done
by comparing the total density with the city density norms for small, medium and large town / cities set
by Urban Development Plan Formulation and Implementation Guidelines (UDPFI). Only such places
have been considered that can offer a sustainable value proposition to the tourists such that when tourism
products are offered in those places, they can be maintained as well.
3.2.3 Travel and tourGenerally, tour operators organize trips in such a way that only popular sites can be covered in a given
period of time. This practice creates more pressure on such destinations. Therefore, while selecting the

4 Stakeholder Consultation4.1 Government of KarnatakaAfter the initial identification of tourism circuits, discussions were held with the officials of the
Department of Tourism, Karnataka and other stakeholders such as tour operators for short-listing the four
priority circuits. The DoT has already developed detailed project reports for some of the major circuits
identified, where there is a major shortfall in available tourism infrastructure. Hence based on the
discussions, the following tourism circuits and destinations have been identified for further study.
4.1.1 Four major tourism circuits1. Circuit 1: Coastal Karnataka tourism circuit comprising tourism destinations in and around
Mangalore, Udupi, rest of Dakshina and Uttara Kannada along the coastline extending up to
Karwar.
2. Circuit 2: South Karnataka tourism circuit comprising tourism destinations in and aroundBangalore, Mysore & Hassan
3. Circuit 3: North Karnataka comprising tourism destinations in and around Hubli, Hampi, Badami,Pattadakal, Aihole, Bijapur, Bidar and Gulbarga
4. Circuit 4: Religious tourism circuit comprising Buddhist, Hindu and Jain religious tourismdestinations in and around Mysore, Mangalore, Udupi, Karwar etc.

Rural Tourism Cluster 2: The cluster includes the Sandur (traditional handicrafts, stone carving,Lambani embroidery with Geographical Indicator registration), Kinhal (traditional wood carving
& toys with Geographical Indicator registration, murals & wall hangings), Ilkal (handlooms &
saris with Geographical Indicator registration, red stone carving) and Torvi (cultivation of
grapes, wine making, cashew processing).
4.2 Carrying Capacity AnalysisTourism carrying capacity (TCC) is defined as the maximum number of people that may visit the touristdestination without causing destruction of the physical, economic and socio cultural environment and an
unacceptable decrease in the quality of visitors satisfaction.(Alvin Chandy, 2009). The assessment of
TCCis based on three major indicators:
Physical-Ecological Socio-Demographic Political- Economic.
1. Physical and Ecological Indicators are based on fixed components (ecological capacity,assimilative capacity) and flexible components (infrastructure systems like water supply,
electricity, transportation, etc).
2. Socio -demographic Indicators refer to social and demographic issues and importance to localcommunities, as they relate to the presence and growth of tourism. Some of these can be

Step 4. Domestic Tourist Density (DT):This was evaluated by diving Average numberof tourist staying per day during peak season by area of tourist town in hectares.
DT = PS / Area
c. Foreign Touri st Density(FT): This was derived as follows:Step 1. Foreign Tourist Arrival (TF): Foreign tourist arrivals during peak season
(days) was determined
Step 2. Tourist stay days in peak seasons (TFSP): Foreign tourist arrival wasmultiplied by average number of day of stay for tourist at that tourist town.
TFSP = TF * Stay Average Days
Step 3. Average number of tourist staying per day during peak season(FSP) : Thiswas evaluated by diving the number of tourist stay days per season by the number of
days comprising the peak season
FSP= Stay Average Days/ Days Peak Season
Step 4. Foreign Tourist Density:This was evaluated by diving Average number oftourist staying per day during peak season by area of tourist town in hectares.

The densities suggested by the UDPFI guidelines as shown in the table above are for the standard cases.
Tourist towns which vary from highly eco-sensitive sanctuaries to highly dense pilgrimage places have
specific characteristics and carrying capacities. Thus, UDPFI densities need to be adjusted to account for
these factors, which is done with the help ofNormalizing Density ()
Normalizing Density ()
Normalizing density is evaluated as follows:
1. Sites were evaluated on a normalizing index (Ni) of range -10 to +10-10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

(EEA Countries, Dec, 2001)Normalizing Density ()was calculated by multiplying a factor of 10pph by the Normalizing index.
Normalizing Density () = 10* Ni
(The value of 10pph was derived by establishing the boundary conditions of lower and upper sustainable
densities for tourist towns of the relevant categories. To establish the lower limit, reference was made to
the capacity norms cited by World Tourism Organization WTO (Inskeep, 1991). The upper limit was
established by determining the densities for saturated tourist towns.)
The Normalizing index (Ni) was evaluated as follows: Each of the applicable indicators for the
corresponding thematic area (to which the tourist destination/circuits belong) was ranked on a scale of 0-
10. The average of the indicators would give the value of the Normalizing index (Ni).
Carrying Capacity Density (CCD) was calculated by summing up the Upper Limit of the relevant

5 Existing Infrastructure Status5.1 Introduction to the Circuit 1The destinations in Circuit 1 are located across the districts of Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara
Kannada, which cover the major coastal regions of Karnataka. The tourism destinations identified
consists of a number of major and emerging destinations. The city of Mangalore is the largest urban
centre in the circuit and the natural entry point cum hub for the destinations in Circuit 1. Given the
geographic spread of the tourism destinations, there are other towns which can be secondary hubs cum
accommodation points in addition to Mangalore, namely Udupi and Karwar. The Circuit 1 forms a
longitudinal circuit along the Karnataka coastline with the distance between both ends being around 290
kilometres.
