Conservation projects count on leveraging the tourism potential of rich Indo Portuguese heritage through incentivizing conservation, creating livelihood generation opportunities and reinforcing citizen connect with heritage

The city, with more than 912 listed heritage structures signifying rich Indo Portuguese heritage, has notified a heritage zone in the core city which regulates development in this area. These heritage structures, although a subject of pride of the owners, require extensive maintenance. Hence, incentivizing heritage conservation by transparent scientific GIS based documentation of heritage structures while associating the citizens with heritage through crowd-sourcing to share memories associated with buildings and stretches is proposed to facilitate formulation of heritage guidelines and conservation plan which would be implemented through a heritage cell at he ccp.

old secretariat is proposed to become a heritage and art interpretation centre cum museum e-tickets for all tourist attractions would be provided. CSR based adoption of heritage structures along the heritage walk and highlighting heritage walks through markers is proposed.
