According to the Mizoram Registration of Tourism Trade Act 2020 the definition of hotel do not include
A)
Hotel
B)
Homestay
C)
Resort
D)
Motel
Under the Mizoram Registration of Tourism Trade Act 2020, the definition of 'Hotel' is structured to include various types of commercial lodging establishments. Typically, in the context of this Act, 'Hotel' serves as an umbrella term that encompasses commercial entities such as Hotels, Resorts, and Motels, which are operated for profit and provide standardized commercial services. However, a 'Homestay' is categorized as a distinct entity under the Act. A Homestay is defined as a form of tourism where the guest stays in the home of the host, focusing on cultural exchange and a domestic environment rather than a purely commercial hotel operation. Therefore, while Homestays are part of the 'Tourism Trade' and must be registered, they are legally distinguished from the definition of a 'Hotel'.

The nodal department of Mizoram to promote ecotourism is
A)
Tourism Department
B)
Environment, Forest & Climate Change Department
C)
Agriculture Department
D)
Sports Department
According to the Mizoram Eco-Tourism Policy, the primary objective is to promote sustainable tourism that preserves the natural environment and cultural heritage of the state. While ecotourism inherently involves the environment and forests, the administrative responsibility for planning, promoting, and coordinating tourism activities—including ecotourism—is vested in the Tourism Department. The Tourism Department acts as the nodal agency to implement the policy, though it works in close coordination with the Environment, Forest & Climate Change Department for the management of protected areas and biodiversity hotspots. Options b, c, and d are incorrect because they are supporting or unrelated departments; the Environment department provides the 'resource' (forests), but the Tourism department provides the 'framework' and 'promotion' for the industry.
