Bihar Tourism has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Association of Tour Operators (ATO), Mauritius, to launch tour packages for Mauritian nationals to visit Bihar under the 'Discover Your Roots' programme.
The MoU was signed by the ATO president and the director (tourism) of the government of Bihar, D K Srivastava, during the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas convention in Mauritius recently. Tourism ministers of both sides were present on the occasion.
Both the sides have agreed to formulate tour packages for the travellers of both the countries in addition to the exchange plan for tour operators, scholars and opinion makers. The tourism ministers of Mauritius and Bihar acknowledged that there was a huge tourism potential as people of Mauritius wanted to visit Bihar and vice versa.
"The Bihar tourism minister's call to the Mauritian people to 'Discover Your Roots' was an emotional one," said Srivastava on his return from Mauritius.
The two-day Pravasi Bharatiya Divas, which concluded on October 28, was organized by the Union ministry of Indian overseas affairs in collaboration with the Mauritius government.
The road show organized by the Bihar department of tourism was an instant hit, Srivastava claimed.
