The 14th International Tourism Mart for the North Eastern Region is being held at which place?
- A.Gangtok, Sikkim
- B.Shillong, Meghalaya
- C.Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh
- D.Imphal, Manipur
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh. The Ministry of Tourism is holding the 14th International Tourism Mart from 29 to 31 October 2026 at Hotel Vivanta in Tawang, together with the Government of Arunachal Pradesh and the other North Eastern States. Option A is wrong, though it is the most tempting distractor, because Gangtok in Sikkim hosted the previous edition of the Mart in November 2025, not this one. Option B is wrong because Shillong has no role in this edition, and option D is wrong because Imphal is likewise not the host city here. For Tawang the Mart is a return after thirteen years, since the town last hosted the 2nd edition in 2013. Candidates should fix the pairing of edition and host city, as questions on this event are usually framed around exactly that pairing.
