Keeping in mind the objective of employing the local youth, the department of tourism said it will facilitate on-the-job training to be provided by employers for local employees in hotels and resorts.
The tourism policy was prepared after extensive consultations with the World Bank and at every stage of its preparation, the view of the stakeholders and industry experts has been given due weightage, a statement said.
The statement said the new policy aims to guarantee effective standardization of processes and practices, to foster uniformity which can result in sustainability and an overall improvement in the quality of tourism products.
It said that the new 'Assam Tourism Policy-2022' has been laid out at an opportune time when the state stands at the threshold of new beginnings.
Further, the state Tourism Minister said "our goal with this new policy is to enable the world to view it from the point of view of the attraction. The presence of pristine water, forests, mountains, and rivers provides the state with limitless possibilities in the field of tourism. The new tourism policy reflects the same goal”.
