Abstract: This article examines the 13 tourist destinations in Koraput, connecting them by the development of a tourism circuit and infrastructure. The district, which is otherwise thought of as a picturesque place located amidst hills, forests, waterfalls, and streams, has poor tourist foot traffic as a result of inadequate basic infrastructure and marketing of the travel destinations. However, the place fails to draw tourists due to the lack of facilities such as drinking water, toilets, accommodation, amusement, or security. The quality of the roads leading to popular tourist spots like Gupteswar, the Gulumi and Duduma waterfalls, the state's highest mountain Deomali, and the little hilltop settlement Maliguda shows how little effort has been put into promoting tourism in Koraput. In contrast, Araku valley in Andhra Pradesh is a tourist destination. Also, there has been an increase in the inflow of foreign tourists from 1,169 in 2015-16 to 1,500 in 2016-17, It shows that although there are no proper services available, still tourist footfall is increasing, but these numbers can be increased if these centres would be developed properly having all necessary services available for tourist.
