KOKAN Exotica

Kokan Exotica, a luxury resort, at Wayangani, Taluka Vengurla, District Sindhudurga, Maharashtra; will be set up as a Socio-Commercial Project. It has been studied that Sindhudurga District has a lot of potential for educational, industrial, commercial and tourism development. The local people are intelligent, but with lack of confidence & exposure. The promoter of the project decided to set up ROLL MODELS in different fields. To execute the ideas & to operate the activities considerable amount of monetary back up is required. The first lesson to build up self confidence is NOT TO BEG FOR ANYTHING AND TO ANYONE. This ANYTHING includes donations for social activities. For a healthy development of our Kokan vicinity, proper guidance for stage wise layout preparation, detail project report, project feasibility report with project economics particularly for industrial, commercial, tourism, agricultural, fishing & even social activities. The promoter believes in inclusion of experts, short term equity participation from different investors / institutions / financial organizations, with appropriate returns to them, and above all, the employment generation through different projects.

It has been studied that many of the Kokan origin families shifted to major cities few decades before, have an aspiration to have their physical connection with Kokan. All such experienced and knowledgeable personalities have their own ideas for development of our Kokan. The promoter intends to form a group of such experts, who can guide and help in development of our Kokan for its industrial, agricultural, fishing, agro based value addition products, education etc.

In the context, the promoter has taken up his first project as A LUXURY RESORT at Wayangani, Taluka Vengurla, District Sindhudurga. The Resort location is just adjacent to the Coastal Highway from Bordi to Kanyakumari. District Airport at Chipi is about 25 KMs. and proposed International Airport at Mopa on Goa Border is about 40 KMs. from the site. For proposed sea route to Kokan, the nearest port is Vengurla, which is about 10 KMs. from the site.

It has been also observed during last couple of years that most of the tourists from different parts of our country and even abroad, love to see virgin beaches, sea forts, sea corals and beautiful natural in Sindhudurga. They show their deep interest in our temple architecture, our prayer styles, our culture, our style of leaving and off course our special cooking recipes. Most of the tourists stay in Goa because of the infrastructural development there. Development of comfortable accommodation, proper hospitality, due feel of richness and obviously professional vision will certainly attract all these tourists around the world. One good Resort is certainly not sufficient to cater the services to all interested in our Kokan. Somewhere and somebody should take the lead.
