Himachal, Goa to join hands to promote tourism
Himachal Pradesh and Goa will work together to promote special packages designed for foreign and domestic tourism, and investment through mutual cooperation.
This was discussed at a meeting held between Himachal Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu and his Goa counterpart Pramod Sawant.
Stressing on a joint strategy, Sukhu said Himachal and Goa are the best tourism states in India and have tremendous potential to become a combined unique destination for the world, thereby boosting the economy and creating more job opportunities.
A wide range of tourist-specific packages interlinking both the states will be designed, which will enhance foreign and domestic tourist influx in both states, he said.
Both states will also work on evolving a mechanism for the specific purposes in the area of tourism and trade, he said.
The leaders also discussed having a series of marine-mountain themed science workshops and student exchange programmes between the states to have a better understanding of the marine and mountain ecosystems.
