The event is looking forward to kick-start the tourism sector in Odisha, which was hit hard during the COVID-19 pandemic. The first edition of Eco Retreat was held only at the Ramchandi beach, last year.
Accommodation facilities and services will be provided to the tourists in luxury tented cottages during the event. It was earlier scheduled to be inaugurated on December 8, but got deferred by a day on account of ‘Bharat Bandh’.
