Union Minister of Communications and Development of North Eastern Region Jyotiraditya Scindia chaired a high-level review meeting on the development of the Matabari Tourism Circuit in Tripura, alongside Chief Minister Prof. (Dr.) Manik Saha. The meeting focused on transforming Tripura into a leading hub for cultural, spiritual, and eco-tourism through sustainable and well-planned initiatives.

Presentations were made on key projects, including improving international connectivity at Agartala Airport, redesigning major tourist sites such as Neer Mahal, Tepania, Jampui Pura, and Udaipur, and developing the Dumbur Islands under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model to attract private investment. The Minister also emphasized the need for skill development and capacity building across seven focus areas, including training local tourist guides, to create jobs and strengthen the tourism value chain.

Scindia encouraged officials to adopt global best practices from destinations like Lakshadweep, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, and Kevadia to create a world-class tourism experience. Reaffirming Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision to position every Indian state as a global tourism destination, the Minister reiterated the government’s commitment to unlocking Tripura’s vast potential and promoting its rich cultural and spiritual heritage on the world stage.
