Tripura sees 3.15% rise in tourist footfall in 2025‑26, says tourism minister

Tripura recorded a 3.15% rise in tourist footfall during the 2025‑26 financial year, the tourism ministry said on Tuesday. The figure reflects the number of domestic and international visitors who entered the state over the period. "The upward trend underscores the growing appeal of Tripura’s cultural and natural assets," the tourism minister said in a press briefing. Officials attributed the modest gain to recent promotional campaigns and improved connectivity to the region. The state hopes the momentum will translate into higher revenue for local businesses and further investment in tourism infrastructure.
