Utsav 2005: first of its kind in the region

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.
