The Mizoram government and the Central Committee of the Young Mizo Association (CYMA) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to strengthen cooperation in promoting tourism in the northeastern state.
The agreement was signed in Aizawl on Tuesday in the presence of Tourism Secretary Vanlaldina Fanai and CYMA president R Lalngheta.
“Tourist arrivals in our state have increased significantly in recent times, and there are many initiatives and plans in this sector. Although various steps are being taken in terms of infrastructure and other areas, the most important factor we need to address is human resource,” Tourism Minister Lalnghinglova Hmar said.
“With the number of tourists increasing, the department alone cannot manage everything, and it is necessary for us to work together with the CYMA,” Hmar said.
The minister also expressed confidence that the Tourism Department would emerge as a major revenue-generating wing of the state government in the coming years.
CYMA president Lalngheta said the organisation would extend full cooperation to the government in its efforts to boost tourism in Mizoram.
The MoU is expected to strengthen coordination between the Tourism Department and CYMA and support initiatives aimed at improving the state’s tourism sector.
