Travel operator TRIS Travels announced plans to place local communities at the core of its tourism initiatives in Meghalaya.
TRIS Travels, a tour operator, said it will focus on community‑based tourism in Meghalaya, a northeastern state known for its hills and cultural diversity.
The company intends to collaborate with villages and local entrepreneurs, promoting homestays, guided walks and cultural experiences that directly benefit residents.
By integrating community participation, TRIS Travels hopes to generate sustainable income streams while preserving the region’s natural and cultural heritage.
The initiative aligns with broader efforts by the state government and tourism bodies to develop responsible tourism models that reduce environmental impact and ensure benefits reach grassroots levels.
