The local government has announced a new plan aimed at fostering tourism-led development in the region. This initiative seeks to engage the community for suggestions and feedback, focusing on a target population of approximately 336,000 residents and an ambitious goal of attracting one million visitors by the year 2055.

Stakeholders are encouraged to participate in a series of upcoming public forums aimed at discussing potential developments, which may include improving transport connectivity, developing new accommodations, and preserving natural and cultural heritage sites.

The initiative highlights the recognition of tourism as a significant driver of economic growth and community development. It is also expected to bolster local businesses and provide a platform for cultural exchange, enriching the experiences of both residents and visitors alike. Further details on the plans implementation timeline and specific projects will be announced in the coming months.
