Bhubaneswar: With an aim to build strategic Centre-State and interstate partnerships for boosting sustainable tourism, the Odisha Government began the two-day National Tourism Conference at the Marine Drive Eco Retreat in Konark.
The conference is being organised in association with FICCI.
The conference will be concluded on Friday with brainstorming sessions on ‘Promoting India Globally Through Centre-State Coordination’ and ‘Sustainable and Responsible Tourism Practices Across India’.
“Under the leadership of Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, Government of Odisha has always emphasized that East and Northeast India, in particular, will greatly benefit from best practices in cooperative federalism in tourism and hospitality. High spending tourists seek long stays and diverse experiences. If we can jointly curate circuits and collaboratively devise strategies to refine tourism across interstate borders, we will all win. The objective of this conference is to formulate such a shared vision”, said Jyoti Prakash Panigrahi, Minister for Tourism, Odia Language, Literature and Culture.
Ten states are participating in the conference.
