However, tourism in the district has not developed adequately with the potential as well as available advantage. The revenue as well as the number of visitors visiting in the early months of 2018 decreased 10% over the same period in 2017. This is partly due to the fact that local tourism activities are mainly spontaneous; the connections amongroutes and tourist destinations are not effective; the tourism promotion and investment is not much, the State management of tourism has not really been thorough and has not created the typical tourism products of the locality.
