Where is the 14th International Tourism Mart being held?
- A.Shillong, Meghalaya
- B.Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh
- C.Gangtok, Sikkim
- D.Guwahati, Assam
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh. The fourteenth edition of the International Tourism Mart began at Tawang on 29 October 2026 and runs for three days until 31 October. The Ministry of Tourism holds the mart along with the Government of Arunachal Pradesh and the other north eastern states, and the Union Tourism Minister said that siting it at Tawang would draw attention to destinations of the region that remain little known. The mart has come back to Tawang after a gap of 13 years, since the second edition was held in the same town in 2013. Option A is wrong because Shillong was not the host this time, although Meghalaya is one of the eight states whose tourism is showcased. Option C is wrong because Sikkim only sent its Chief Minister, Prem Singh Tamang, to the opening session, and Gangtok was not the venue. Option D is wrong because Guwahati did not host the edition either, even though Assam takes part like the other states of the region.
