KOLKATA: The state has set up six tourism sub-committees to offer further boost to the sector, which has huge potential to generate employment.
The government had in April constituted a state tourism task force. The sectoral sub-committees are for rural & tea tourism, heritage & cultural tourism, eco-tourism, river tourism, adventure tourism and MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions) tourism. "It is imperative to form a sub-committee for each of the sub-sectors for a focused and planned approach," a circular said.
