In anticipation of the official opening of Tannirbhavi’s Blue Flag beach, admission fees are already being collected from the general public. Adults in the public will pay an entry fee of Rs. 20, while children under the age of 13 will pay Rs. 10. Manikya, the deputy director of tourism in Dakshina Kannada, told TOI that the prices are determined in accordance with the standards set forth for Blue Flag beaches, mainly to fund upkeep.
Although the entrance work by Mangaluru Smart City Limited is still underway, we have opened it to the public as visitors have begun arriving, necessitating cleanliness and maintenance on the beach. The formal inauguration is expected to take place once the model code imposed due to the Lok Sabha elections is lifted.” Meanwhile, prices have also been fixed for other facilities, such as birthday celebrations – Rs 500, photoshoots – Rs 1,000, photoshoots with drone – Rs 2,000, film shooting of Tulu films – Rs 5,000 and other languages – Rs 10,000. The Blue Flag beach is an ecotourism model endeavouring to provide tourists/beachgoers clean and hygienic bathing water, facilities/amenities, a safe and healthy environment and sustainable development of the area.
