The Ministry has also formulated a village-centred programme for the promotion of rural tourism," he said, adding that the homestay would also prosper like the community forest and the cooperative sectors were.
The Tourism Minister was of the view that the homestay which has started to be organised only since three years back was making the economic status of the rural folks stronger. He added that the government would provide assistance to the homestay related plans coming from the rural areas as homestay tourism also supported the local productions and culture.
