“We will do whatever is needed to revive the tourism industry as per the recommendations given by the Economic Revival Committee in its report,” PS Golay added.
Sikkim’s tourism sector, which contributes heavily to the State’s revenue, was adversely affected following COVID-19 induced lockdown and subsequent ban on entry of tourists into the State to prevent spread of the deadly disease.
However, since Sikkim reopened its doors to tourists three months back, over one-and-a-half lakh tourists have visited the State.
