Assam To Promote High-end Sustainable Tourism
The Assam government, under Tourism Minister Jayanta Malla Baruah, is actively promoting sustainable and high-end tourism within the wildlife sector.
Baruah emphasised the focus on ‘mass tourism’ for religious destinations, aiming for a balanced approach to tourism development. The discussion on The Assam Tourism (Development and Registration) Bill, 2024 took place, marking a significant legislative step for the state's tourism sector.
This move comes as Assam has seen increased tourist footfalls in recent years due to a stable environment without agitations or disruptions. The legislation is designed to provide a comprehensive legal framework for the tourism sector, focusing on aspects like the registration of tourist-related facilities.
The government's strategy involves differentiating tourism approaches, advocating high-end experiences for wildlife destinations and mass tourism for religious and destination spots.
