According to a UNI report, Union Minister of State for Tourism, Sultan Ahmed yesterday lashed out at the West Bengal government for its ”utter failure” to enhance the tourism sector and make the state more attractive for tourists. “’The state government failed to provide even basic facilities to the tourists, including road connectivity, proper guidance, hospitality, rest rooms and sanitation,” Ahmed told reporters at a tourism fair ‘Chalo Jaai TTE 2009′ at Netaji Indoor Stadium in Kolkata. “The ruling Left Front is also responsible for under development of tourist spots like Tarapith, Dooars, Darjeeling and Digha,” he maintained.
The Minister expressed his displeasure at the state government’s failure to participate in the tourism fair. “I will ask my officers to find out why the West Bengal government did not participate in the tourism fair where several other states and countries like China and Malaysia took part. If China can come to India to sell their tourism potential, why should we lag behind in marketing our products in China,” he questioned. Ahmed assured that he would try to explore the feasibility of the Nathula Pass to China by road.
