The poor public transport system, high decibel levels, rude behaviour of autorickshaw drivers and absence of toilets, especially for women, at historical places are among the many problems faced by tourists visiting Pune, says a study.
The study has been conducted by Janwani - an initiative of the Mahratta Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Agriculture (MCCIA) - as part of its Brand Pune Heritage Project. It examines Pune as a heritage tourism destination.
Most of the tourists interviewed also complained about crowded buses and unavailability of autorickshaws at certain times.
The study said that most tourists come to the city for reasons other than leisure and travel - as parents of students seeking college admissions, visiting relatives, using the city as a base for a holiday with getaways to nearby places, as a stop-over during road trips and for official purposes.
