Agartala:Tripura Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha said a host of initiatives have been undertaken to boost the state's GDP and create employment opportunities through tourism.
“The current government has taken steps to showcase the state's tourism potential globally. Organising the Tripura Tourism Promo Fest will further accelerate this initiative,” Dr Saha said while inaugurating the fest at Narikelkunja in Gandatwisa subdivision of the Dhalai district of Tripura today.
Speaking at the event, the CM highlighted that the state's rich traditional culture would be prominently showcased through such festivals and efforts are on to turn Tripura's tourism more appealing to visitors.
Dr Saha also inaugurated a newly constructed bridge over the Dumbur reservoir and handed over registration certificates to nine private entrepreneurs who have established homestays at various locations in Narikelkunja.

So far, 51 log huts have been constructed across the state under this project,” he stated.
