Chief Minister Conrad Sangma has stressed on leveraging the tourism potential of heritage sites in Shillong and other parts of Meghalaya while asserting that there is a plan to open a small museum in a portion of the historic old Assembly building in the capital city Shillong.
Mr. Sangma was responding to a query from PTI on the sidelines of the 11th International Tourism Mart that kicked off on Tuesday evening in Shillong.
Shillong, which was the capital of undivided Assam, is nicknamed the 'Scotland of the East' and is known for its historical importance and pristine natural beauty. The three-day Mart seeks to focus on the tourism potential of the northeast, particularly Meghalaya which is the host State.
