  1. A.A visa-free travel arrangement between the two countries
  2. B.Setting up focused technical groups and designating points of contact
  3. C.A joint tourism promotion fund of fixed size
  4. D.Merging the two national tourism boards

Correct answer

B. Setting up focused technical groups and designating points of contact

Explanation

The correct answer is setting up focused technical groups and designating points of contact. This was described as the key outcome of the meeting, and its purpose is to carry forward the areas of cooperation that were identified, namely exchange of tourism data, promotion of lesser-known destinations, cine-tourism, destination twinning, skilling and capacity building, and business-to-business engagement, and to keep stakeholders talking between formal sessions. Option A, a visa-free arrangement, was not agreed and would involve entirely different ministries. Option C, a joint fund of fixed size, sounds plausible for a bilateral mechanism but no such fund was announced. Option D, merging the two national tourism boards, would be an unusual step that no country takes with another. So option B is right.
