Maharashtra Tourism Corp To Offer Free Yoga Sessions, Immunity-Booster Meals

The Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC) is now set to offer free Yoga Sessions and immunity booster meals to people who have recovered from COVID-19.

“We are tying up with Ayurvedic and yoga practitioners locally where our resorts are situated. The emphasis will be on providing facilities for Ayurvedic treatment and yoga therapy to tourists who have recovered from corona. We will start yoga sessions and set up meditation centres,” said Deepak Harane, regional manager, Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation.

MTDC to have an immunity booster menu

Harane also added that the second wave of the coronavirus has indeed hit hard on tourism everywhere. So the MTDC has now decided on implementing long-term measures for tourists during the post-epidemic period. Deepak Harane also said that the lockdown has stressed out many people, as they have to continuously work from home, and are living under a lot of stress. So this initiative might be a natural getaway for them, he said.

The MTDC regional manager also said that despite the curfew, all the cleaning, repair and sanitation work at tourist accommodations had a 100 per cent occupancy in December 2020 and January 2021.

Suhas Parkhi, manager of MTDC, Mahableshwar said that they are currently getting in touch with yoga teachers. They have also decided on an immunity booster menu which will comprise Spanish soup and tomato-ginger soups. Besides this, tourists will also be given vitamin C and vitamin D tablets. Sanitisers, masks, face shield, gloves will also be available at the various centres.
