Arunachal Pradesh Tour Operators
Association APTOA warmly welcomed them in Itanagar with felicitation and hosted
their breakfast before completion of tour in Kaziranga National park on
10th April 2021. The APTOA President alongwith Treasurer Michi Rajen extended
warm greetings and appreciated the courage and challenging attitudes the young
girls on behalf of the stakeholders and Arunachal Tourism.
He said that our youths of North East states
should venture out of the box confining ourselves and explore the beautiful
places and people in promoting to the outside world for growth of tourism
sector in this region. The wrong concept about NE States as often heard as
insecure, inhospitable, uncivilized will surely defeat the apprehension by the
challenging acts of these young girls riding bikes alone in whole of
North East states. He said.
The three girls embarking such tours said that
it aims at shedding the stereotype about women who are mostly confined inside
the four walls of the house. The tour is about breaking the age old and
outdated belief as well as portraying NE States as safe destination for all
types of tourists. They also further added that their aim also at promoting
sisterhood among the 7 NE States. The APTOA President added.
