School students have a reason to rejoice. The Maharashtra Tourism and Development Corporation (MTDC) has announced a 20 per cent concession across its properties in the State for schools.

In an effort to motivate schools to promote educational and recreational tours, MTDC has announced a discount for school children aged between 6 and 14 years. The discounts will be on stay at its properties under recreational trips organised by the schools.

The concession will be extended as a special case for accommodating four occupants in a double occupancy room with no extra charge for the bedding. However, there will not be any discount on the food and other offerings.

“The occupancy rates at the MTDC properties are generally very high. Therefore, we have decided to provide discounts on week-days (Monday to Friday) for trips being organised by schools for the students. This will enable the students to learn about Maharashtra’s geography, culture and at the same time reduce the cost burden of the stay. We are sure that the schools will take maximum advantage of this offer,” said Dr Jagdish Patil, Managing Director, MTDC.

The school administration may contact the respective managements across MTDC properties in the State for advance booking and avail of the discounts. Further information is available on the official Web site of the Corporation, www.maharashtratourism.gov.in
