 Guwahati,
Aug 21: Guwahati is about to host a first-of-its-kind in
the region, tourism and travel expo called Utsav 2005, to offer
the North-East a palette of tourism options and showcase the region
to the eyes of tour-operators in India and abroad as well.
Since, great holidays meant being at the right destination, at
the right time and with the right amount of preparation, the expo
will be conducted with that formula in mind. The three-day event
is scheduled to be held next month at the Dr T. Ao Indoor Stadium,
located within the Cotton College campus.
A seminar and a workshop on promotion of tourism are to be held
in the expo. Also, new products and services related to adventure
tourism is also expected to be launched.
The Assam Tourism Department and a private organisation called
Purbanchal Paryattan will join hands to organise the expo. During the current financial year, Delhi, has granted Assam Rs
10.15 worth of projects including development of adventure-tourism
in Kaziranga and eco-tourism in Kokrajhar.
The organisers hope that the expo will encourage local, national
and international tour operators to develop packages for inbound
and outbound tours. The objective is to provide a portal of information
on tourism and related trade activities within a single window. |
