Union minister of state for tourism (independent charge) K. Chiranjeevi on Wednesday announced that the ministry would launch a new campaign to publicise the tourism potential of the Indian Himalayas and promote this incredible tourist product internationally.
To be called “777 days of the Indian Himalayas” the campaign will have a two-fold objective, one, to attract more international tourists to India during the lean summer season, and second, to remind the world that 73 per cent of the Himalayan region is in India.
Mr Chiranjeevi said that the ministry plans to launch the campaign on September 27, the World Tourism Day.
