The northeastern state of Mizoram has set a target of attracting 12 lakh visitors by 2030, focusing on winter‑time experiences to boost tourism.
Mizoram's tourism department announced an ambitious plan to draw 12 lakh tourists by the end of the decade. The strategy hinges on developing winter‑focused attractions, including snow‑like festivals, trekking routes on snow‑capped hills, and cultural showcases that align with the cooler months.
Officials said the state will invest in infrastructure such as heated accommodations, improved road connectivity to remote hill stations, and promotional campaigns targeting domestic travelers seeking off‑season getaways. Partnerships with travel operators are also being explored to create packaged tours that combine adventure, local cuisine, and heritage sites.
The initiative aims to diversify Mizoram's tourism calendar, which traditionally peaks during the monsoon and spring seasons. By extending the visitor season into winter, the government hopes to generate steady employment for local communities and increase revenue for small businesses across the state.
