Participating in the discussion with investors, Mr Vivek Rae said that the islands offer enormous potential for tourism.

Sustainable development of Islands and overall maritime development has been accorded high priority by the Govt. Island Development Agency (IDA) an apex body, under the chairmanship of Home Minister, was constituted in June 2017, while NITI Aayog has been mandated to steer the Holistic Development of Islands program, along with the respective UT administration & State Governments.
