OUR CORRESPONDENT

Itanagar: Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu has emphasized on creating world class infrastructure and facilities to promote adventure tourism in the state and called upon the stakeholders to recommend practical suggestions specific to the state for the government to take action.

Speaking at the 16th Annual Adventure Convention of the Adventure Tour Operators Association of India (ATOAI) at Tawang district on Wednesday evening, Khandu said that for the government, money is not an issue to develop a world class adventure tourism ecosystem but the technical ‘know how’ is. He said that the government and its machinery alone cannot solely concentrate on this sector with its limited technical expertise, which otherwise has a huge potential especially in Arunachal Pradesh. “Adventure enthusiasts and organizations like ATOAI should come up with recommendations upon which the state as well as central governments can work on,” he said. Khandu appreciated ATOAI for coming up with a booklet on adventure tourism scopes and maps for enthusiasts to plan their visits to Arunachal Pradesh. He also expressed optimism that the six-day convention (from December 3 to 8) will eventually come up with bright ideas and practical ways and means to take adventure tourism to the next level not only in Arunachal Pradesh but across the North East and the country. He said that the recommendations should be state and region specific for ease of implementation. “I am with ATOAI whenever and wherever needed. Let’s work together and I assure my support and cooperation to you to make adventure tourism a top-notch sector,” he assured.
