BHUBANESWAR: The Odisha government has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the National Council of Science Museums (NCSM) to promote museum tourism in the state, deputy chief minister Pravati Parida said.
The MoU was signed during the Utkarsh Odisha-Make in Odisha Conclave here in presence of Parida, who is in-charge of the tourism department.
Parida said, “We have signed an agreement with the NCSM to promote different kinds of museums — bird, tribal and traditional museums — to attract tourists.”
She said Bhubaneswar city has several ancient temples, which can make it the preferred destination for temple weddings.
“However, we need to revise some policies to boost tourism. Some policies are private investment friendly while some others will be revised considering the needs of investors,” Parida added.
