The proposed plans envision a tourism model that is both community-based and eco-friendly, ensuring sustainable economic growth while protecting the unique ecological and cultural treasures of Jampui Hill. Local arts, crafts, and traditions are set to play a central role, providing visitors with an authentic cultural experience that celebrates the rich heritage of the Mizo and other local communities.
Tourism Minister Sushanta Chowdhury praised the proactive approach of the Mizo leaders, acknowledging their vision for a brighter future for Jampui Hill. He extended an invitation for a follow-up meeting after Christmas to further explore the feasibility and implementation of the proposed projects.
