Preparations are in full swing in West Bengal’s Darjeeling district for the 2nd Tourism Working Group Meeting of G20, which will begin on April 1, officials said on Sunday.
At the first meeting held in Gujarat’s Kachchh in February, five priorities were identified for the sector — green tourism, digitalisation, skills, tourism MSMEs and destination management. At the second meeting in Darjeeling, representatives of G20 countries, invitee nations and international organisations will be discussing deeper aspects of the five priorities, they said.
The Tourism Ministry will also host a side event on ‘adventure tourism as a vehicle for achieving Sustainable Development Goals’. All the Northeastern states will make presentations at the event, they added.
