Northeast India is known for its beautiful landscapes and diverse ecosystems. While there’s great tourism potential, it is important to ensure that it doesn’t harm the environment or local communities. Responsible Tourism is the key, and the Green Tourism India Conclave 2023 is working toward this goal. They aim to foster fresh ideas and create a roadmap for sustainable tourism in the Northeastern states.
