After implementing the Mumbai 24x7 initiative across the city, the Tourism and Environment Minister Aditya Thackeray stated that he is in talks with the civic authorities including Municipal Commissioner Praveen Pardeshi to set up a 'Tourism Department' in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). Further, he also mentioned that the state department will be providing funds to the Tourism Department.
The funds are likely to give impetus to the civic body’s existing projects such as restoration and beautification of heritage precincts, beautification of beaches, upgradation and expansion of Byculla Zoo and a cycle track along the Tansa pipeline.
