Summary
- KSTDC opens its first coastal resort, 'Mayura Phalguni River Resort'.
- The resort is developed on Pilikula Nisargadhama premises in Mangaluru.
- It features eight rooms, cottages, and a unique 'thotti mane' style spa.
Karnataka State Tourism Development Corporation (KSTDC) is set to inaugurate its inaugural resort in coastal Karnataka. Named 'Mayura Phalguni River Resort', this new property is strategically located on the premises of Pilikula Nisargadhama in Mangaluru. This venture signifies KSTDC's commitment to expanding its hospitality footprint beyond its traditional operational areas.
The 'Mayura Phalguni River Resort' is designed to offer a unique guest experience, featuring eight rooms, comprising suites and deluxe accommodations. Additionally, it will include charming cottages and a spa designed in the traditional 'thotti mane' (courtyard house) style, aiming to provide a distinct wellness offering. This development addresses a gap in KSTDC's portfolio within the vibrant coastal tourism circuit.
Officials acknowledge past challenges, including lower occupancy rates and customer complaints regarding maintenance at some KSTDC properties. To counter this, the corporation is actively utilizing digital marketing and customer feedback to enhance services and operational efficiency across its 28 existing properties. The aim is to improve the overall guest experience and boost occupancy levels.
