The proposed projects include an adventure and eco-park at Sachindranagar, an adventure park at Mohanpur, a replica of the 51 Shakti Peethas at Udaipur, infrastructure upgrades at Chabimura and Unakoti, waterfront development in Amarpur, and a new entrepreneurship scheme, Paryatan Sahayak Prakalp.
Tripura recorded a 64% rise in domestic tourists to 6.01 lakh and a 36% increase in foreign visitors to 91,000 between 2023 and 2024, signaling growing confidence in the state as a safe and sustainable travel destination.
