The Eco-tourism achievement of the Dzongkhag was shared whereby Dasho Dzongdag highlighted the eco-tourism sites in the Dzongkhag (eco-trail from Phurjurlaptsa to Jaiphu, Birding trail from Latongla to Zhongar along TBT, and the newly inaugurated Richanglu recreational park). Furthermore, Dasho also shared future plans to attract more tourists to Monggar, including the extension of trails from Jaiphu to Pongchula and the development of agri-tourism.
During the meeting, the Chairperson and the tour guides shared the reasons why eastern region has less tourist arrival and the recommendations were also made by them to ensure frequent tourist visits in the eastern Dzongkhags.
