Tripura To Launch New Tourism Policy To Attract More Tourists To The State

It’s a well-known fact that the northeast of India is a mystical realm. The amount of flora, fauna and culture there overrides most places in the country. Most tourists head to Assam and Meghalaya when it comes to touring the northeast but one of the most underrated states in the region is Tripura. Replete with indigenous tribes, beautiful architecture and a green cover, it’s one of the prettiest places in all of India. And now the Tripura government is launching a new tourism policy to make the state a popular choice among visitors.

Tripura Launches Policy To Increase Tourist Footfall

The latest development in the tourism sector of Tripura is the Public-Private Partnership(PPP) policy in the state. For the past three years, Tripura has seen a hike in tourists and they plan on increasing it. With the PPP policy, more job opportunities will be created in the tourism sector.

Tripura is a gifted state and has a number of attractions. This includes the Neermahal Palace, Unakoti, Sepahjila Wildlife Sanctuary and more. However, due to lack of infrastructure, basic necessities and more, these places haven’t been able to achieve the potential that they could if they were tourist hubs.

According to reports, 1 lakh foreign nationals have visited the state in the year of 2019 until November. The number in itself is quite promising which is why the government is doubling down its efforts in increasing the number. The plan is to give the tourist spots maximum exposure and turn them into hot spots for visitors. Besides this, the government of Tripura is also planning on allowing tourists to visit eco-tourism spots while also building a helipad at Narikel Kunja, which is a prime tourist destination.

We appreciate the thought behind this and hope that Tripura gets its long-due time under the spotlight.
