List of Ministers[edit | edit source]

Introduction[edit | edit source]

The Department of Tourism, Government of West Bengal, is responsible for the development of tourism in the state of West Bengal. The Department of Tourism in West Bengal is engaged in facilitating the services for promotion of tourism. West Bengal offers a remarkable range of destinations and experiences within a single state. It is a land of contrasts – in climate, vegetation, scenery, and landscape and has a rich diversity of ethnicity, culture, languages and religion. It is a truly unique state because it stretches all the way from the Seas to the Himalayas. It has always been a traveller's delight as there are fantastic trips set around the misty and romantic hill stations, diverse Wildlife and verdant teagardens of the Dooars, historical monuments and temples of Murshidabad and Bishnupur, wide and splendid beaches of Digha and Mandarmoni and the lush forested islands and meandering rivers of Sunderbans- destinations that are great revelations.

Facilities[edit | edit source]

The Department has a unit named West Bengal Tourism Development Corporation which has many tourist centres all around the state at various districts where online booking is also available. The Department has taken a number of initiatives and also offers various packages through WBTDCL throughout the year as well as on specials occasions and festivals like Durga Puja, the greatest festival of the world, Christmas, Poush Mela, Basanta Utsav etc. The Department has its digital presence through its website, Mobile App and Social Media, Radio and TV as well as audio visual mediums.
