Tour operators from neighbouring States are in the city to attract tourists with attractive packages to domestic destinations besides voyage in deep sea and a trip to some of the most spectacular destinations across Europe.
The travel mart organised in the capital will be a unique occasion where sellers will converge with buyers for three days apart from being a good learning experience for local tour operators. Welcoming the tour operators, Principal Secretary Tourism Sajal Chakraverty said, “Those who have come here are ahead of us (in tourism). We will get an opportunity to interact with them and learn from them.” Chakraverty said first time an event of this type has been organised in the capital.
The Principal Secretary while acknowledging the progress made by others in the field of tourism rued the backwardness of the State. Chakraverty said, “The State has so many things important from tourism point of view however we have not done anything (to boost tourism). Thankfully, things are slowly changing.”
