Ziro,  Sep 23: The Department of Tourism, Lower Subansiri District, in collaboration with Infoway IT Solutions, organised a Homestay Orientation Training today at Abasa Homestay, Ziro, to commemorate World Tourism Day 2025.
The training programme, conducted just ahead of the much-anticipated Ziro Festival of Music (ZFM), holds special significance in preparing local homestay owners and service providers to cater to the large influx of visitors from across the country and abroad.
The orientation emphasized improving hospitality standards, sustainable tourism practices, digital promotion of homestays, and enhancing visitor experiences, thereby aiming to strengthen the local economy through community-driven tourism initiatives.
Speaking at the programme, Khoda Yakang Millo, District Tourism Officer In-charge highlighted that homestays are not just accommodations but cultural gateways for visitors to experience the unique traditions, cuisine, and lifestyle of the Apatani Valley.
