If Kanchenjunga is a witness on the lap of the mountain, if there is auspiciousness? Change in the green carpet of the forest? Or the house wakes up in the sand?

Many people want to tie the knot with like-minded people in their favorite places. But the pocket does not agree. Organizing a wedding in a private resort or hotel is very expensive. Out of the reach of the middle class. Now the way to fulfill the wish is wide. There are golden opportunities to hold weddings in cloud states, ocean cities or deep in the forest at government resorts at very low cost. It is called a budget friendly ‘destination wedding’.

Although the government has 40 resorts and hotels to be built suitable for weddings, the ‘West Bengal Tourism Development Corporation’ wants to proceed with only 20 at the initial stage. State Tourism Department Additional Chief Secretary Varun Roy said on Thursday that there are plans to launch at least ten such resorts in the first phase after Puja this year. A survey has now begun. It will be over in two months. Then the work of decorating the resorts will begin. Varunbabu observes, infrastructure development is essential to host weddings in tourist centres. To that end modern banquet halls, special honeymoon suites for newlyweds and renovated luxury rooms are being provided.

From hilly areas like Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Karshiang to the sea shores of Digha, the jungle palaces of Jhargram or the rugged nature of Purulia, this tourism package has huge potential. Since people plan their weddings long in advance, within a few days the government will advertise the list of possible resorts. The booking process will begin. Only then will the state get Lakshmi Lakshmi with a fairy tale marriage.

Anant Ambani’s fairy tale wedding is popular beyond the borders of the country as well as abroad. Such a ‘destination wedding’ is happening on silver screen now. After reading the ‘Last Poem’, the dream of marriage on the peak of Shillong’s Ramgarh mountain has peeked in the minds of many Bengalis. But the skyrocketing cost of private resorts nipped that dream in the bud. This dream will take the form of Banaspati under the government initiative.

Sometimes in the gap of the pines, sometimes in the rhythm of the waves. The secretary also shared this possibility with several partners of tourism in a hotel organized at Park Hotel recently. The aim of the department is to start this service from the next winter wedding season. Along with marriages, the possibility of adventure tourism in the state is also being enhanced. Tribal tourism starts with low-risk activities like hiking, hot air balloon rides or trekking.
