Jitendra Singh discusses tourism promotion plans for Shillong

New Delhi, Jan 16 (UNI) Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER) Jitendra Singh discussed here today the tourism promotion plans for Shillong and other surrounding areas of the Northeast with a group of professionals led by Member of Parliament from Tura, Meghalaya Conrad K Sangma.
Expressing his opinion that Shillong had not received the kind of tourism attention it deserved, he said ''is an irony considering that Shillong is the original capital of Northeast right from the days of British Empire to the post-Independence era of undivided Assam State.'' However, he said, the Central Government had done its best to fast-track and make up for the undone initiatives of the past.
The minister was given an audio-visual presentation about the roadmap conceived for placing Shillong as a tourist attraction on global platform and thereby also promoting the entire region through a similar strategy. The presentation highlighted the various options and itineraries with focus on a three-day holiday capsule incorporating cultural activities, meditation centres, music workshops, experience of food cuisines and trekking options.
