The town of Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh will hold the North East Tourism Mart for the first time in 13 years, aiming to boost regional tourism.
Tawang, a historic hill town in Arunachal Pradesh, is set to host the North East Tourism Mart after a 13‑year interval. The event is being organized by the state tourism department in collaboration with regional tourism bodies.
The mart will bring together travel operators, hotel owners, and cultural groups from across the eight North Eastern states to showcase their attractions, adventure packages, and indigenous heritage. Organisers expect the platform to generate new itineraries and business linkages for the region.
Local officials have highlighted Tawang's strategic location near the Indo‑China border and its rich Buddhist monasteries as key draws for domestic and international tourists. The revival of the mart is viewed as a step toward diversifying Arunachal's economy beyond traditional sectors.
Stakeholders anticipate that increased visibility at the mart will translate into higher footfall during the peak tourist season, supporting local livelihoods and infrastructure development.
