SHILLONG: The Meghalaya Tourism Development Forum (MTDF) is gearing up to hold the Autumn Festival 2015 early November. The MTDF plans to celebrate the event in a unique way deviating from the usual format to cater to tourists travelling to the State for the fest.
Professional teams will be roped in to ensure that the fest becomes a meaningful endeavour to promote tourism in the State.
“The entertainment and the needs of the local residents will also be taken care of but with a bit of vigilance to avoid serious public inconveniences,” Raphael Warjri, the publicity secretary of MTDF said on Friday.
Meanwhile, a general meeting of the MTDF was held recently to elect its new office bearers to undertake fresh assignments in tourism sector.
The Vice Chancellor, Martin Luther Christian University and former Chairman R G Lyngdoh retained his top position in the Forum; Kishen Tibrewalla of Hotel Polo Towers was elected vice-president.
