The Bihar Government has issued a new directive to State Government employees to undertake a mandatory two-day, two-night visit to State tourist destinations with their families once every three months and submit feedback reports to the Government on how to promote them.
According to the new order issued by the Additional Chief Secretary of the General Administration Department (GAD) on May 20, Government employees have also been directed to visit at least three tourist spots comprising eco-tourism or rural tourism sites in districts other than their home district during each trip and stay overnight in the area.
The duration of the travel and stay will be officially recognised as time spent on duty.
After the visit, the employees must submit a report comprising their personal experiences, details of the destinations visited and photographs to their respective department heads or the District Magistrate.
The Government officials will be barred from conducting review meetings, inspections or operating from officials’ residences during their visits to the tourist spots of the State.
The initiative by the State Government is to boost local tourist infrastructure, local economies, generate authentic regional and cultural experiences along with collecting feedback from officials visiting the spots for their development,” said a senior Government employee.
