TOURISM POLICY FOR MIZORAM
The broad approach for the tourism development in the Northeast should be regional (incorporating Indian states and neighbouring countries) rather than local. Individual states in the Northeast do have their own specific identity, which should reflect in their detailed local proposals.
The Tourism Development in the Northeast region will depend on integrated approach, involving various government departments, private entrepreneurs, voluntary organisations and local community. This approach will also help in evolving local people’s perception towards tourism development as a strong tool for socio-economic upliftment, with self-dependence and without environmental destruction of the region.
The Tourism Policy for the entire Northeast Region should be based on the concept of Eco-tourism with very wide parameters. The eco-tourism should not just mean nature tourism, but also should consider environmental / heritage conservation and education as a core feature.
The strategy is four fold:
• Regional (NE) infrastructure development
• General infrastructure development in the state
• Development of existing / proposed tourism projects
• Development of new unique and specific Tourism Projects and Tourism Circuits
We recommend the strategy of stabilisation for the next five years.
That will include:
• Complete all incomplete / under construction works of the approved projects
• Obtain approval for the projects in the pipeline awaiting sanction from the Department of Tourism, New Delhi; commence and complete those works as soon as possible
• Do not apply for any more new, infrastructure projects
• Carry out total up-gradation of the entire infrastructure to bring it to excellent standards
• All efforts should be concentrated to identify and develop new and unique tourist spots and tourist circuits with very minimum basic amenities
• Simultaneously, additional efforts should be focussed on effective publicity and marketing through innovative and professional approach
