Oscar to 'Slumdog Millionaire'has brought 'Dharavi', the slum town of Mumbai into global focus. Mumbai slums have been long depicted in Bollywood movies, but the Hollywood attention has attracted international celebrities, art lovers, journalists and filmmakers into the city.
India's Economic Times writes ancouver-based art dealer Richard Trout, Dharavi is an amazing tourist spot. He watched "Slumdog Millionaire" a month ago and is now in Mumbai for five days making his way through the dingy bylanes of the Asia's largest shantytown - 175-acre Dharavi, home to more than 600,000 people.
A global online tourism vendor, Expedia.com., which has unveiled a Oscar holiday destination package, is promoting Dharavi and the city of Mumbai as one of the hottest tourism destinations this spring and summer.
