BISWANATH CHARIALI: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Friday that Biswanath Ghat of Sonitpur district has been selected as the Best Tourism Village of India 2023 by the Ministry of Tourism.

“Happy to share that Biswanath Ghat has been selected as the Best Tourism Village of India 2023 by the Ministry of Tourism. Selected from amongst 791 applications from 31 States and UTs, Biswanath Ghat’s selection reflects the huge efforts that our government have taken in promoting rural tourism in Assam,” Sarma posted on X.

The state of Assam offers hills to wetlands to reserve forests, food, culture, rural landscape, flora, and fauna for an immersive travel experience for tourists and film makers. The tea gardens and the natural, lush green golf courses are some of the other major attractions.

As growth in the tourism sector is vital for socio-economic development, the Assam cabinet last year approved the proposal to grant industrial status to the sector.

Assam has been taking a slew of initiatives to promote tourism, such as organising road shows in metropolitan cities and taking part in markets and fairs in the country and abroad.
