The state tourism department has also decided to develop destination circuits and tourist lodges. Although DoT sources did not reveal names of the circuits, they informed that the state tourism department will be developing tourist lodges around lesser known places such as Jakrem Hot Spring.
The state tourism department has also sent a proposal to Ministry of Tourism (MoT) to allocate heliports at Khasi and Garo Hills for increasing tourist arrivals. The state received five lakh tourists last year from both domestic and foreign travellers.
