In a significant development for Andhra Pradesh’s tourism sector, luxury hotel chains and investors are choosing coastal tourist hubs like Visakhapatnam (Vizag), Tirupati, and Rushikonda over the state’s capital, Amaravati. During the recent Andhra Pradesh Tourism Conclave, the state secured MoUs worth over ₹10,329 crore, with the majority aimed at boosting hospitality and leisure infrastructure in Vizag and nearby beach zones.

Industry leaders cite Vizag’s growing popularity among domestic and international tourists, better connectivity, and stunning beachscapes as primary reasons for investment. Meanwhile, Amaravati continues to face hurdles in infrastructure and political ambiguity, causing it to fall behind in the race for premium hospitality developments.

 

With these new luxury projects, Vizag is not just positioning itself as Andhra’s tourism capital—but also becoming a rising star in India's coastal leisure economy.

Luxury hotel investments in Andhra Pradesh are rapidly flowing into tourist hotspots like Vizag, Rushikonda, and Tirupati, bypassing the official capital Amaravati. Backed by MoUs worth ₹10,329 crore, Visakhapatnam is emerging as a top destination for 5-star hotels, beach resorts, and high-end hospitality infrastructure. With scenic coastlines, improved airport connectivity, and growing tourist traffic, Vizag is becoming the preferred city for luxury hotel chains. In contrast, Amaravati's lack of readiness and ongoing developmental issues have made investors cautious. For the latest tourism and investment updates in Andhra Pradesh, follow Hello Vizag!
