Sri Vijaya Puram, November 9: MAKRUZZ held the soft launch of its Port Blair–Baratang–Havelock connection on November 5, with travel agents, invited guests and content creators taking part in a Familiarization Trip.
The new route allows travellers to explore Baratang’s Mangrove Creeks and Limestone Caves before continuing to Havelock on the same day. Special introductory offers for Islanders start from ₹1,000. Departing Port Blair at 5:45 AM, the itinerary is scheduled to reach Havelock by 1:30 PM, adding another destination to visitors’ holidays without requiring an overnight stay.
The initiative opens a new tourism circuit by connecting Baratang’s attractions with onward ferry travel to Havelock. It could help distribute the benefits of tourism beyond the established island destinations, creating opportunities for local guides, boat operators, eateries and small businesses.
As part of its launch outreach, MAKRUZZ also sponsored familiarization visits for tourism students from ANCOL and JNRM, helping future tourism professionals gain firsthand knowledge of the destination and its visitor experience. (Issued by Mr. Sumit Lall, General Manager, MAK Logistics Pvt. Ltd.)
