Where was the 14th International Tourism Mart held?
- A.Shillong, Meghalaya
- B.Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh
- C.Guwahati, Assam
- D.Gangtok, Sikkim
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh. The Ministry of Tourism organised the Mart there with the state government and the other North Eastern states, and the edition brought the event back to the town after thirteen years, the second edition having been held at the same place in 2013. Option A, Shillong in Meghalaya, option C, Guwahati in Assam, and option D, Gangtok in Sikkim, are all North Eastern cities that host tourism events, and Guwahati will in fact be the starting point for the familiarisation tours that follow the Mart, but none of them was the venue of this edition. Aspirants should hold on to the companion details: the dates ran from the twenty-ninth to the thirty-first of October, the Union Minister for Tourism and Culture is Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, and the Chief Ministers of Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim attended the inauguration.
