Himachal Pradesh government was planning to diversify tourism to new areas and as part of the efforts the activities of the departments of Tourism and Rural Development would be merged to develop infrastructure in rural areas, Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal has said.
“The State government policy is now for the diversification of tourism to areas which are new and have tourism potential…We are hopeful that our efforts will not only promote rural tourism but also diversify tourists to rural or new areas and decongest the over saturated stations,” said Mr. Dhumal here on Saturday at a road show organised in the city to promote tourism.
