The negative sentiments among Indian tourists toward the Maldives have created an opportunity for firms operating in Lakshadweep. In December of the previous year, Praveg announced that it had received a work order for developing, operating, maintaining, and managing at least 50 tents on Agatti Island in Lakshadweep. The project includes facilities for scuba diving, destination weddings, corporate functions, and more. The work order is for three years, and extendable for another two years.

Praveg, headquartered in Ahmedabad, also operates Tent Cities in Varanasi and Ayodhya. The company aims to provide world-class, eco-responsible hospitality with a focus on luxury, sustainability, and showcasing the unique cultural and natural aspects of Agatti Island.
