KOLKATA: The West Bengal government today said it is working on a new tourism policy which could be unveiled by next month.
"I hope the tourism policy will be unveiled by September. We are working on it," Tourism minister Manab Mukherjee said here on the sidelines of a programme organised by Bengal National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BNCCI).
"We have received the draft policy from Ernst & Young (E&Y) and it is in the process of finalisation," he said.
E&Y was entrusted for preparing a long-term comprehensive tourism development road map for the state identifying sectors which would attract investment from the private sector.
Tourism policies were framed in 1996 and 2001, but the sector did not grow.
Mukherjee inaugurated three courses on entrepreneurship development and travel and tourism conducted by Enterprise Development Institute under the aegis of BNCCI.
