- A.Regional Meeting of Tourism Ministers of the North Eastern States
- B.National Tourism Advisory Council meeting
- C.Meeting of the North Eastern Council
- D.Inter-State Council meeting on tourism
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Regional Meeting of Tourism Ministers of the North Eastern States. It is to be held on 30 October 2026 on the sidelines of the Mart at Tawang and will be chaired by the Union Minister for Tourism and Culture, giving the States a forum to discuss how tourism in the region can be strengthened and how they can cooperate better. The same day also carries the Business-to-Business sessions between foreign and Indian buyers and service providers of the region. Option B is wrong because no meeting of that body was announced with this Mart. Option C is wrong because the North Eastern Council is a separate statutory body for regional planning and its meeting is not part of this programme. Option D is wrong because the Inter-State Council is a constitutional forum chaired by the Prime Minister and has nothing to do with this event.
