KULLU, JUNE 22

The Union Ministry of Tourism has invited comments on the draft national strategy and road map to promote rural tourism, MICE industry and medical and wellness tourism.

The main objective is to facilitate tourism by augmenting infrastructure, ensuring ease of travel, promoting tourism products and destinations. Driven by the spirit of “Vocal for Local”, rural tourism can contribute significantly to the mission of “Atmanirbhar Bharat”.

Medical tourism is a term used to describe the rapidly growing practice of travelling internationally to obtain healthcare.

The ministry has sought feedback, comments and suggestions on or before June 30 to make the documents more comprehensive. These drafts can be accessed from the link available under the “what’s new” section on the website (https://tourism.gov.in/) of the ministry. The feedback can be sent at e-mail IDs js.tourism@gov.in, bibhuti.dash72@gov.in or prakash.om50@nic.in.
