Hello, everyone and welcome to My new blog! I'm Badak Yomgam, a PhD research scholar at NEHU, Shillong and I'm thrilled to launch this platform to share my insight, research and reflections on topic related to tourism, culture and Sustainable development within the Northeast India region.
As my first post, I want to highlight a recent article I had published in 'The Arunachal Times' daily newspaper. It appeared on saturday, may 3, 2025 and is titled "Arunachal's New Tourism Policy: Acknowledging the Value of Experiential Tourism. ".https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipO4nI8m3UAc_fbsJf_o4Q-Q-1tsx0rKOrWqFePe
In this article, I discuss how Arunachal Pradesh's recent emphasis on Experiential Tourism is a commendable step towards enriching the state's travel landscape. This progressive move aims to foster a deeper connection between visitors and the region shifting the focus from conventional sightseeing to active engagement and authentic immersion. Experiential tourism, as I elaborate, is about creating a unique and memorable journeys that go beyond simply observing; it's about participating in local activities, acquiring new skills and fully absorbing the sights, sound and smell of a destination. I also highlight the wealth of opportunities Arunachal offer, from participating in local festivals and learning local traditional crafts to community-based tourism, food and drink tours, educational trips and wellness activities.
I look forward to delving deeper into these and other fascinating subjects with you all.
