    COMPREHENSION
    SESSION 2024-25
    NAME: ________ ROLL NO: ______ SECTION:___
    Read the passage given below.
    1 The North-East of India is a melting pot of variegated cultural mosaic of people and races, an
    ethnic tapestry of many hues and shades. Yet, these states are less explored as compared to
    the rest of the country. The new generations of travellers who are ‘money rich and time poor’
    are increasingly looking for unique experiences --a phenomenon being called the emergence
    of the ‘experience economy’. For this new and growing breed of tourists, the North-East with
    its variety and uniqueness holds immense attraction.

    2 A study conducted in 2020 by Dr. Sherap Bhutia, revealed that the foreign tourist arrival in
    the North-East increased from 37,380 persons in 2005 to 118,552 in 2014. The overall growth
    rate of tourist (both domestic and foreign) in the North-East was as high as 26.44% during
    2005-06. A high and positive growth of 12.53% was registered in foreign tourist visits to
    North-East States of India during 2012 from 2011, which further rose to register a growth of
    27.93% during 2013 from 2012. Foreign tourist arrivals in the North-East witnessed a growth
    of 39.77% during 2014 from 2013, according to data provided from the Ministry of Tourism,
    Government of India.

    3 The study recommendations for tourism planners included the need to concentrate on some
    key areas like enhancement of tourist facilities, tourism financing, focus on community
    involvement and others for the formulation of a sustainable tourism strategy in the North-East
    States of India.
