The Centre is giving tourism in the Northeast a massive push by improving infrastructure and developing it as the most unique sustainable eco-tourism destination in the world, with increasing footfall in the region.
The number of foreign tourists who visited Assam was 14,942 in 2009 and 15,157 in 2010. While Manipur got 337 foreign tourists in 2009 and 389 in 2010, Mizoram played host to 513 foreign tourists in 2009 and 731 in 2010.
