Karnataka's tourism minister, HK Patil, announced the government's commitment to protect heritage structures and promote tourism in Mysuru. The plan includes converting a 127-year-old heritage building, previously used for district offices, into a museum to display valuable manuscripts, coins, and sculptures dating back to the Chola dynasty. The government is exploring options for displaying these artefacts to the public, either at the old DC office or in a new museum.

Additionally, the tourism department is considering introducing a single-ticket entry system for all tourist destinations in and around Mysuru to improve the visitor experience and prioritize parking for tourists. A dedicated tourist police unit will also be established during the Dasara celebration to address tourists' complaints.

While there were discussions about a ropeway project atop Chamundi Hills, the government clarified that there is no such proposal at present. However, efforts will be made to develop Chamundi Hills, and the renovated Wellington Lodge atop the hill is ready for inauguration.

The tourism department is keen on utilizing its 2.5-acre land for the benefit of tourists, while the Karnataka Exhibition Authority is being encouraged to optimize the 80-acre exhibition land for tourism purposes.

To improve nightlife in Mysuru and attract more tourists, the government plans to focus on preserving the city's cultural heritage. Special packages for senior citizens and students are also being considered to increase footfall at Jungle Lodges and Resorts.

The preservation of Lalitha Mahal Palace, another heritage structure, will be discussed with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, as it requires substantial restoration funds.
