“With the tourism industry likely to increase to US$275.5 billion by 2018 at a 9.4% annual growth rate in India, it is high time for the Union Tourism Ministry to shift the focus to the North Eastern states, particularly Arunachal Pradesh, which is endowed with huge potential for all kinds of tourism including the popularly growing niche tourism,” Khandu said.
