Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray wants a multilevel aquarium in Mumbai on the lines of Bangkok-based Ocean World, a popular tourist attraction in Thailand.
Thackeray on Monday ordered the state tourism department to draft a proposal to develop a multilevel aquarium in Mumbai.
He issued the instruction after holding a meeting with Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC) officials here.
Thackeray said, Mumbai is an international city. Tourists will start coming to Mumbai via its international cruise terminal. Hence, as a part of it we need to have an international multilevel aquarium in the first stage.
"I have asked the officials to prepare a proposal for the project."
