    It is good idea to boost tourism and revenue in city with existing facilities and infrastructure.
    But it is not required such a huge space, it has to be in limited space with well maintained, illuminated, interlocked, green lawns and with fountains
    Divide it into 4 segments entertainment, shopping, food courts and ambiance to relax.
    Good parking facility, world class toilets, luggage room, stone benches to relax, prepaid auto or taxi stand will boost tourism and footfall
    Branding it with good name like Mysuru festival city is very important to attract interstate and overseas tourist.
