In a significant move towards sustainable tourism, the popular hill stations of Ooty and Kodaikanal have introduced an e-pass system for visitors. This initiative aims to manage traffic flow and minimize environmental impact in these picturesque locations, which have been facing challenges due to increasing tourist numbers.
Tourists planning to visit these scenic spots will now be required to apply for an e-pass online through the official portal. The implementation of this system is expected to streamline visitor access while ensuring that the natural beauty and ecological balance of the areas are preserved.
Local authorities believe that the e-pass will not only help in controlling the number of visitors at any given time but also promote responsible tourism practices among travelers. By encouraging visitors to plan their trips in advance, the initiative aims to enhance the overall experience while safeguarding the unique environment of Ooty and Kodaikanal.
