TAWANG, 25 Sep:<\/strong> “Tourism is the backbone of our economy, and it is our collective responsibility to not only welcome visitors but to provide them with a safe, clean, and memorable experience while preserving our pristine environment and unique culture,” said Tawang Deputy CommissionerNamgyal Angmo during a ‘Refresher-cum-capacity building training programme’ for tourism stakeholders held here on Thursday.<\/p>\n The programme was initiated by the DC, and was organized by the Tourism Department, Tawang.<\/p>\n The DC stressed that behaviour, presentation, and professional conduct of stakeholders directly shape a visitor’s impression and must be developed hand-in-hand with economic growth.<\/p>\n Angmo said that tourism must be developed not just for economic gain but in a way that ensures preservation of the environment, culture, tradition, and heritage of the region. She also called for a “strategic shift in focus from volume of tourists to the quality of services provided.”<\/p>\n The DC expressed confidence that such capacity-building exercises would go a long way in preparing local stakeholders to provide safe, sustainable, and visitor-friendly tourism services, thereby boosting Tawang’s image as a premier destination.<\/p>\n District Tourism Officer Tsering Dekey urged all stakeholders to take full advantage of the training.<\/p>\n The training session was comprehensive, covering a wide range of critical topics. Experts from the KDS District Hospital, the Fire Services, and the Police Department conducted sessions on first-aid and basic emergency response, fire safety and evacuation drills, and traffic and parking discipline, respectively.<\/p>\n The programme also included key sessions on environmental responsibility. Officials of the Forest Department led a session on biodiversity and ecosystem awareness, and the importance of forest conservation. Additionally, the UD & Housing Department trained stakeholders in sustainable tourism practices, with special focus on waste management.<\/p>\n The programme concluded with an interactive session, during which ideas were exchanged by the participants.<\/p>\n The collaborative effort marked a significant step towards solidifying Tawang’s position as a premier tourist destination, celebrated for both its breathtaking natural beauty and the professionalism of its tourism sector.
