This city has so much in it – beautiful beaches, lakes, mountain ranges, valleys and caves – that people refer to it by several nicknames such as ‘Jewel of the East Coast’, ‘City of Destiny’ and ‘Goa of the East Coast’,. With nature’s favours galore, the city also enjoys the status of being the third cleanest city of India. Having already made it to the list of cities to be developed under Smart Cities Mission, the metropolis is a cut above several of the other cities in the country, which paves its way to being a perfect MICE destination. The port city is also home to Indian Navy’s Eastern Naval Command.
Delegates can enjoy their post-event time by visiting the places such as Kailasagiri, Vuda Park, Mudasarlova, Dolphin’s Nose, Ross Hill, Victory at Sea, Submarine Museum, and many others.
The city enjoys sound connectivity with other cities of the state as well as the country by air, rail and road. The nearest airport, Vishakhapatnam Airport, is around 7 kilometres away from the city centre and flights from all the major airlines of the country such as Air India, IndiGo, Jet Airways, etc, connect it with other major cities. By rail, the city is connected with other major cities of the country via Vishakhapatnam Railway Station, which is about 8 kilometres away from the airport. Andhra Pradesh SRTC (State Road Transport Corporation) buses and private ones are other convenient means to tour the city.
