Itanagar, Oct 21: To boost tourism in Arunachal Pradesh, the state government is rolling out red carpet for both domestic and international tourists visiting the picturesque northeastern state.

The Arunachal Pradesh government has unveiled a tourism policy with a focus on film (shooting), farming (experience), wine (making and testing) and eco-tourism.

“Tourism means a lot to us and to our people. Thanks to its sublime natural beauty, diverse tribal cultures, and abundant wildlife, our state attracts tourists from across the world, seeking unique and authentic experiences,” Arunachal Pradesh CM, Pema Khandu, said.

Khandu said giving a boost to the tourism sector, a new tourism policy has been launched with a focus on film, farm, wine and eco tourism. “Home stay policy has been launched to ensure our guests have a holistic experience,” he said.

“Tourist are invited for a programme called ‘Kiwi Owning and Kiwi Fruit Picking Experience’ at Ziro in the Lower Subansiri district. Under this initiative, tourists are given a unique opportunity to become more connected with nature and agriculture through an immersive, hands-on approach. Participants have the option to own a kiwi plant through an ‘Annual Timeshare Programme’ designed to create a bond between the plant owner and the farming process while supporting the local farmers,” he added.

The project aims to protect and preserve the natural habitats and rich bio-diversity of Tawang and West Kameng through community-based tourism initiatives so that locals can get alternative livelihood opportunities. The Monpas live in Tawang and West Kameng regions, bordering Bhutan in the west and Tibet in the north.
