Bhubaneswar: The Odisha Government on Saturday decided to organise an international-level ‘eco-retreat festival’ on Puri-Konark marine drive from December 14 to January 14.

As per a decision taken at a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik here, the ‘Marine Drive Eco-Retreat Festival’ will entertain tourists with adventure, water sports and cultural programmes. A food festival will be held simultaneously and luxury tents put up for the visitors.

A government statement said all concerned departments have been asked to give their best for the success of the month-long event, to be organised about 8 km from Konark along the coastline.

The festival is expected to give a big boost to the tourism potential of the state, popularise and promote the Puri-Konark marine drive and attract more tourists to the old town of Puri. It will be held at a time when tourists from the country and abroad visit Odisha in large numbers to enjoy the winter vacation.
