is to bring your kind attention to the mistakes that were present in your recently published Travel Magazine. You recently wrote an article about Visakhapatnam in your magazine - Britain Travel and it had two major mistakes.
This
Linking Words
kind of misinformation hampers the image of a city and must be corrected at the earliest.
Firstly
Linking Words
, The article mentioned that Visakhapatnam is a small town and Ramkrishna Beach is the only tourist spot available there. I would like to highlight that Visakhapatnam is not a town , but in fact, is the second largest city on the South Eastern Coast of India. It has people from all cultural backgrounds and is home to India's first coastal Steel Plant.
Additionally

,
this

city has a large amount of tourist attractions
such

as Kailash Giri, Ramkrishna Ashram, Shimhachalam Temple, etc.
This

, indeed, has made Vizag a highly popular tourist site for Indians. I would request you to kindly correct your article and republish the same acknowledging your error. The reason behind
this

is that it will drastically affect the tourism industry of
this

beautiful place and will in turn affect the income of many people who are employed in

industry.
Furthermore
Linking Words
, the reputation of the magazine will be affected if the information it publishes is not authentic. Eventually, it reduced its popularity.
Therefore
Linking Words
, I suggest you set up a review committee, which will look into the authenticity of the information before publishing it. I write
this

in the best interest of your organization. I have entrusted
this

matter to your kind attention and I trust you will do the needful. Yours Faithfully, Shreyashi
