The focus is not much on tourism development except the 7 sisters initiative. The major problem here is instability, which discourages tourists to visit due to safety concerns. Not at all here in Sikkim or even Arunachal Pradesh, but the rest of the states. Meghalaya, Assam, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura and Nagaland are very scenic and an adventure tourist's dream.
But because of problems in Nagaland and Manipur, it is difficult for the state governments to encourage. When they raise the issue to the central government, they get fat dole-outs and then even those who want to do something for tourism economy here just shut up.
Sikkim state department for tourism has only recently started taking some initiative. Our state was internally known to rest of the Indians but not otherwise to the world. Like how Kashmir or Goa or Kerala or Gujarat are known.
That's very true....
