Suggestions Invited for Making Popular Destinations of Assam More Tourist-Friendly

• Identify some city corner walls to put murals to reflect meaningful local traditions and heritages.

• Grow some ornamental permanent plants like Washington Robusta, Roystonea Regia, Delonix Regia, Amaltas (Cassia Fistul), Terminal Catappa, Neem, Citrus etc. for city corner and open space beautification.
• Install outdoor robust, durable and elegant benches (concrete or composite materials) around no traffic zones and also by the river sides of Brahmaputra at Guwahati, Tezpur, Dibrugarh cities.

• Introduce plan to enhance their business establishment and limit the numbers by merging or any applying other business co-existence ways.

• Identify strategic no traffic zones at city areas.
• Put permanent street bollard to separate no traffic zones; so that pedestrian can move around without concentrating on nearby traffic.
• Smoothen the street/ walkways/ footpath from potholes so that pedestrian can escape from trap.
• Relocate existing road side vendors and eateries to those no traffic zones. Don’t kill their business, since it’s not a crime; but assign a business friendly locality for their survival as well.

1) Install pillars with maps showing 5 min & 15 Min (in 360 degree Radius) walkable places
2) Tourism website must contain - Assam in 3 days/5 days/10 days etc.
3) A 24x7 helpline specially for tourists

• Think about to develop some wireless (wire free –telephone, electricity and mushrooming cable TV/ internet) city areas.

• Brahmaputra Attractions: Remove all the easy access toilets from its banks. If necessary build some convenient toilets that can cater demand by keeping hygiene at top most position. The river side automatically become suitable for domestic and local users.
• To sustain in longer run a good governance must be in place for each attraction.

• Assign drive ways for all public transportations identifying different service and operational speed categories within cities and towns
• Lease some parks, road dividers, traffic roundabout, public places to grow seasonal flowers to interested individuals keeping the highest committed standards.

• Standardized all public convenient installations at national or international standards.
• Remove all commercial sign boards and banners from each and every government institution.
• STOP sharing of same sign board for an institution (specially public and government) with a telecom company or cement company name and brand. It’s looks so UGLY and POOR. It carries negative impression rather than positive ones about the institution.

• Develop footpaths at cities and towns. Nobody wants to jump in to an open sewage canals or drains.
• Introduce proper garbage collection facilities in and around the cities and towns.
• Don’t encourage to install different styles and types of garbage collection bins in and around cities from different volunteer organization, commercial institutions and public corporations. It’s looks absolutely odd and never meet the demands.
