Assam’s tourism sector has witnessed a remarkable resurgence, with over 1 crore tourists visiting the state in the 2023-24 fiscal year. This achievement is attributed to improved infrastructure, law and order, and the state’s growing popularity as a wildlife and eco-tourism destination. Assam’s commitment to sustainable tourism practices aims to preserve its natural beauty and cultural heritage while fostering economic growth.
Assam’s Tourism Minister, Jayanta Malla Baruah, has taken a significant step towards boosting the state’s tourism sector by sanctioning 34 tea gardens to develop their tourism potential. This initiative aims to transform Assam’s tea gardens into vibrant tourist destinations, offering a unique blend of cultural, agricultural, and experiential tourism. The move is expected to attract a niche segment of tourists interested in agricultural and cultural experiences, further enhancing Assam’s profile as a diverse travel destination.
