Other than the Higher Secondary examinations,
most other major tests are over and now, it is time to chill-out.
To help potential trotters in this direction, Summer Tourism
Fair, the first-of-its-kind, was inaugurated at the Kanchanjungha
Stadium here yesterday.
In collaboration with the Siliguri Tourism Fair Organising
Committee, a Kolkata based firm is organising the three-day
long fair at the stadium premises. Forty travel operators
from different parts of the country are participating in the
fair, which is also being attended by the Union tourism department,
tourism department of Rajasthan and the North Bengal State
Transport Corporation. According to the organisers, tourism
is emerging as a prolific money-earning sector in the country.
“The fair is being organised to project and promote
north Bengal as a popular destination,” the official
added.
A cultural programme was organised to mark the inauguration
yesterday.
