Gangtok: As the calendar inches closer to May 2025, Sikkim is abuzz with preparations for a significant milestone: the 50th anniversary of its Statehood. In anticipation of this momentous occasion, the state government has issued a clarion call to all stakeholders within the tourism industry to actively participate in the month-long golden jubilee celebrations.
A major highlight of these commemorative events will be the much-anticipated visit of India’s Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. His presence is expected to add significant weight and prestige to the festivities, underscoring the national importance of Sikkim’s journey as a state.
Responding to this historic juncture, the state government has specifically urged all tourism-related entities – encompassing hotels, restaurants, homestays, and travel agencies, among others – to commence festive arrangements starting from the 13th of May and continue throughout the entire month. This concerted effort seeks to present Sikkim’s rich cultural tapestry, its renowned hospitality, and its unwavering dedication to establishing itself as a leading tourism destination within India.
The government’s appeal includes specific requests for the tourism sector to adorn their establishments with vibrant illuminations and beautiful floral displays. Furthermore, businesses are encouraged to proudly hoist the National Flag at their entrances, symbolizing unity and national pride. Ensuring impeccable cleanliness and cultivating a genuinely welcoming atmosphere for all visitors are also emphasized as crucial elements of this celebratory endeavor. This comprehensive initiative is strategically designed not only to honor the Prime Minister’s visit but also to significantly elevate the overall experience for tourists, thereby solidifying Sikkim’s standing as a premier choice for travelers seeking unparalleled beauty and hospitality.
