Arunachal Pradesh’s new Take A New Turn in Arunachal tourism campaign reshapes how travel professionals can promote this frontier state’s immersive cultural experiences, heritage hubs like Tawang, Ziro & Mechukha, and growing adventure travel potential.

Take A New Turn in Arunachal: Redefining the Frontier Experience for Travel Professionals

The Government of Arunachal Pradesh has unveiled an ambitious new tourism brand campaign—Take A New Turn in Arunachal—designed to reposition the state as India’s premier destination for experiential travel, deep cultural engagement, and nature-led adventures. 

Launched by Shri Pasang Dorjee Sona, Hon’ble Minister of Tourism, the initiative builds on the refreshed “Beyond Myths and Mountains” identity, urging travellers to look beyond postcard scenery and connect with the human narratives that define Arunachal’s distinct destinations.

Strategic Shift: From Scenic Views to Story-Driven Travel

The Take A New Turn in Arunachal campaign moves away from conventional destination pushing toward immersive experiences that highlight:

• Cultural immersion and tribal narratives

• Local traditions, festivals & crafts

• Adventure and nature-based activities

• Authentic community interactions

Arunachal’s storytelling approach underlines that travel here is not simply ticking off attractions—it’s about lived experiences and personal discoveries across the state’s diverse cultural landscapes.

Key Destinations B2B Agents Should Know

Below are standout destinations shaping the narrative of this campaign:

Tourism Growth Trends That Matter

Arunachal Pradesh tourism has shown strong recovery and growth in recent years:

• For travel agents and airline partners, this trend underscores expanding market potential, particularly for niche segments such as eco-tourism, tribal tourism, adventure circuits, and spiritual travel packages.
