Collective workings of the Tourism Working Group meeting will give new direction and energy to the tourism sector, Gujarat Chief Minister M Bhupendra Patel said while kick starting the first meeting of the Tourism Working Group of the G-20 Presidency at Khordo, Kutch.
The CM said that one of the five priorities of the Tourism Working Group is green tourism. Giving an example of green tourism, he said that the Smritivan memorial has been built to commemorate the devastating earthquake in Kutch. Fifty check dams and planting of more than three lakh plants in this memorial forest have given a new direction to green tourism.
Tourism has an important contribution to the GDP of the country and the world, the CM said. He further stated that under the new tourism policy, a unique vision of environmental prosperity has been adopted along with the development of tourism in the State.
The then chief minister and now Prime Minister Narendra Nodi started the celebration of Rann Utsav after seeing the immense potential of tourism along with industrial development in Kutch. The Utsav has today become a center of attraction for tourists from all over the world and has given the desert of Kutch an important place in the map of the world.
The CM stated that Gujarat is a tourism friendly state full of tourism diversity and various circuits such as Gandhi Circuit, Buddhist Circuit and Vivekananda Circuit are being developed to boost tourism in Gujarat.
