On World Tourism Day i.e. on 27th September, I extend my warmest greetings to the people of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and to all who admire the pristine beauty of our remarkable lands. This year's theme, "Tourism and Peace," serves as a powerful reminder of how tourism can cultivate harmony, understanding, and unity among diverse cultures.

The Andaman and Nicobar Islands, with their stunning landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and vibrant marine life, are a shining example of the beautiful coexistence between nature and humanity. Our islands are more than just a destination; they embody serenity, drawing visitors from around the globe who seek peace and rejuvenation.
