The State Govt would take up with the Centre the setback caused to the tourism industry owing to the restriction on the entry of foreign tourists in the North-East.

This was stated by the Meghalaya Tourism Minister, Mr Salseng C Marak while inaugurating the first conducted tour of the Tourism Department here on May 14.

Foreign tourists are required to obtain the Restricted Areas Permit (RAP) for entering the sensitive North-East. This was enforced in the wake of anti-foreigners agitation in Assam.

Tourism industry, he said, was not for the Govt alone to build up. “We encourage people to construct hotels and private individuals to contribute development of tourism in the State”, he added.
