Uttarakhand's New Tourism Policy
About two decades after its formation, Uttarakhand finally has its tourism policy that aims to 'facilitate reverse migration' to the fast emptying-out hills by promoting village-based tourism. The policy also aims to tap the hill state's potential for wellness and adventure tourism.
V. S. Chauhan, joint director, Uttarakhand Tourism Development Board said that we have a tourism policy in place about 18 years after the state's formation. It is a comprehensive strategy that aims to tap the state's vast potential for eco-tourism, wellness as well as adventure tourism.
The policy aims to facilitate reverse migration to the fast emptying out hills by creating entrepreneurship avenues for the local youth in the tourism sector.
