Vishakapatnam – Vizag for short – is a second city earmarked for focused development by the savvy chief minister of Andhra Pradesh. Very soon we will see it emerge as an important industrial hub and tourism point. At present it is recognized as the largest seaport on the eastern coast housing major Govt. controlled industries like Steel, Petroleum & Fertilizer. For the first time visitor, its natural beauty might be surprising – enclosed as it is by Blue Mountains on three sides, and a shimmering silver sea on the fourth. There are three deluxe hotels in the city and several in the three star and other categories.
