Himachal has been declared the best state in the tourism category by Outlook Traveller. The award was received by the Tourism Department in New Delhi on February 22, a spokesperson of the department said here today.

During the Surajkund Craft Mela, the state was awarded for excellence and it is for the first time in the past 33 years that a state has been appreciated for its performance.
During the IITM-Kolkata tourism fair held this month, Himachal was declared an adventure tourism destination of the year.
