Churachandpur, June 11 : Prophesying the vivid prospect of tourism industry in the State, Tourism Minister TN Haokip has today mooted on the need to ensure a hassle-free tourism related infrastructure development in Manipur.
"From the bottom of my heart, I plead all sections of the society to leave a space for the industry to grow," he said addressing a handful of gathering while inaugurating a lodging hotel here.
The State Government is struggling to rope in private investors on tourism sector, initially everyone was interested but on witnessing the ground reality where the gun culture floats, they quickly made a silent retreat, he maintained.
Haokip was attending the inauguration of a novel entrepreneurs Venus Hotel, as he risked the prospect of entering the hotel sector despite the volatile law and order situation in the State.
The hotel inaugurated today was only the second of its kind in the district drawing large number of foreigners and officials from outside the district.
Recalling his trips across the globe, the Minister said, except for Switzerland, there are few countries that enjoy the picturesque and pleasant atmosphere of the State.
Manipur shares a unique feature of being a plain in the midst of hills and mountains, he added.
Like any other developing nation, Manipur too will one day witness a vibrant tourism industry which will play a vital role in uplifting the State' economy.
So let us not burden the individuals or the Department of Tourism that has taken the initiative to develop the tourism infrastructure in the State, he said.
