Longkhum village under Mokokchung district launched its tourism website commemorating World Tourism Day at the Longkhum village Tourist Lodge on September 27. The website, https://explorelongkhum.com/ was sponsored by Late Dr I Longrizung Trust.
The website was virtually launched by Imtisenla Pongener, Senior Tourism Officer, Mokokchung. Er Atoba A Longkumer, who is a grandson of Dr I Longrizung, gave a demonstration on the tourism website.
While giving a demonstration on the website, Er Atoba stated the primary objective of launching the website was to open up the natural beauty of Longkhum village in a digital space, thereby placing the village in a global landscape. He added that the websites give users the ability to search for information about the village.
He pointed out that earlier brochures were handed out to provide information on a particular village, but it is now inconvenient to hand over the brochures to a large population. The website there serves as comprehensive information on rural tourism.
Rongpang Longchar, speaking on behalf of the Longkhum Tourism Committee, shared the challenges they faced during the initial years of starting the Longkhum Tourism Committee owing to language barriers with the tourists. He thanked the Dr I Longrizung Trust for the sponsorship and initiation and urged the citizens and council of Longkhum village for rejuvenation in promoting village tourism.
C Angang, Chairman, Longkhum Village Council, gave the welcome address while L Alemtemsu gave an introductory note on Late Dr I Longrizung Trust.
