Enumerating the measures being taken for promotion of tourism in the Union Territory, the advisor said several promotional activities and fairs have been done recently in different parts of the country for ensuring that the tourist flow to this part of India increases. “This will in turn contribute to the economy besides generating employment opportunities to the locals and skilled youths,” he said.
The advisor complimented the institute for organising skiing events and said these serve the purpose of acquainting the people from other states with those of Union Territory in addition to giving training to youths from across the country. Sharma later distributed certificates among the youth from different parts of the country who had participated in a 14-day learning-cum-training programme organised by the Indian Institute of Skiing and Mountaineering.
