German tourist not allowed to enter Puri Jagannath Temple

A 35-year-old German tourist who tried to enter the Puri Jagannath Temple, was prevented from doing so by the priests because this temple is off limits to non-Hindus. The police detained the German based on a complaint filed by the one of the priests.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 27 February 2017.

The German tourist had arrived in Puri three days earlier and claimed to be a disciple of Lord Krishna and a follower of international society for Krishna consciousness (ISKCON) and when he was prevented from entering from the main gate, he tried to enter from one of the other gates.
He possesses a valid passport and, admitted that he was aware of the temple's restriction on the access of non-Hindus but his argument was that he was a staunch follower of Lord Jagannath and had visited several other Hindu temples in India and, why should he not be slowed to enter this temple.
Incidentally, in spite of such a rule, there have been instances of foreigners who gained entry into the shrine in the past and had to undergo inhuman behavior in the hands of aggrieved priests. In fact, on December 28, 2010, an American woman was humiliated and thrown out of the shrine by a group of priests.
Such actions do not auger well for the tourism industry.

Tourism in Darjeeling, Dooars and Puri hit by demonetisation

Demonetization of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes has taken its toll on tourism and has squeezed out the spirit of wanderlust among Kolkatans. Holiday trips normally planned for the December-January period are being put on hold and the effect is felt on bookings for trips to Darjeeling, Dooars and Puri.
These are the eternal favourites and, booking for these have come to a virtual halt since November 8. Foreign travel, too, has slowed down by about 15%, as revealed by travel agents.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 20 November 2016.

With the current situation, unless one has enough cash and easy accessibility to money, traveling is a risk. Confirmation of hotel rooms booked in Darjeeling and across the Dooars has come down to a trickle post-demonetization and there could be cancellations if the limit on bank withdrawals remains.
The December-January period is the time when budget travelers come to Darjeeling and Dooars and usually book hotels in advance. They also depend on cash saved over a period of several months. Tour operators feel that Darjeeling could see a 25% drop in tourists this winter.
As far as foreign travel is concerned, Southeast Asia and the Gulf are the most preferred destinations between December and March and here traffic could plunge by 20%. The Thailand-Singapore-Malayasia-Hong Kong and China circuits are popular throughout the year and the number of travelers peak in winter. However, demonetization has affected this sector as well with advance booking of air tickets on hold.

Puri experimenting with cooking tourism to teach Odia cooking to tourists

It is a new initiative by people of Puri and, dubbed as experiential 'cooking tourism', enthusiastic groups have embarked upon the novel concept of inviting tourists to engage with the local community and take lessons in making delicious Odia dishes.
In one such setup that runs an eco-friendly restaurant, tourists learn from local chefs the methods to prepare traditional Odia dishes.
This has been reported in telegraphindia.com dated 7 November 2016.

The participants visit the local market to buy the ingredients. Instead of going to shopping complexes or malls, they go to the local vendors and, thus, the participants meet and interact with the local traders. After procurement, they engage with the chefs in making the dishes. Each session starts at 9 in the morning and concludes at 2pm.
The process of learning begins with making masala chai with local herbs. This is followed by learning how to cook wholesome meal that includes five items. Some of these are - dahi baingan, dalma (lentils cooked with vegetables), saga mooga (leafy vegetable cooked with lentils), khata (chutney), dahi maccha (fish cooked with curd) and kankada jhola (crab curry).
The initiative had been launched six months ago and, so far, about 60 foreign tourists have participated till date.

Soon air-conditined bus service will begin between Bhubaneswar and Puri

By December an inter-city bus service between Bhubaneswar and Puri is set to begin - one can simply go online and book a hassle-free journey from the city to Puri in air-conditioned buses. The fare in a normal bus from Bhubaneswar to Puri is Rs 40 but, in the air-conditioned bus it will be Rs 100.
This service by Bhubaneswar-Puri Transport Service Limited will start online booking for its air-conditioned buses running between the state capital and Puri from December.
This has been reported in telegraphindia.com dated 14 October 2016.

Dream Team Sahara is the agency that runs the service and it has said that the online booking facility would be available on its website and passengers could select their seats from there. The air-conditioned buses had been introduced on the route to provide a viable and comfortable travel alternative to commuters, and the online booking system would help streamline the service as well as ensure reduction in the travel time.
The system now is that passengers have to wait for the air-conditioned buses to get filled before they depart from the Master Canteen bus station. A normal private bus takes around two hours to travel from Puri to Bhubaneswar and vice-versa but, the air-conditioned ones take around two-and-a-half hours for the same. The agency feels that this can be avoided through online booking.

20 hotels operating in Puri without approval to be closed down in first phase

Odisha has taken tough measures for hotels in Puri that are flourishing without obtaining necessary approval. The Odisha State Pollution Control Board has issued closure notices to 20 hotels in the city that were operating without its approval.
During an inspection, the pollution watchdog discovered more than 100 such hotels and, for a start, they have identified 20 hotels and have served them closure notices.
This has been reported in telegraphindia.com dated 3 August 2016.

These hotels are to be sealed within a week. Under sections of the air pollution and water pollution prevention laws, hotels must mandatorily obtain consent of the Odisha State Pollution Control Board for establishment and operations. Environmental activists have alleged that many hotels in Puri were contributing significantly to the air and water pollution because they release wastewater directly into the sea thereby polluting the beach.
Incidentally, the pollution control board had issued closure notice last year also to some hotels in Puri that were operating without its consent. A few hoteliers had challenged the order in Orissa High Court and the court had granted a stay on the closure. Subsequently, the court dismissed the case and vacated the stay order. AS a result, action has been have taken and another chance has been given to the hoteliers to apply for getting the necessary consent.
