Department of Tourism, Govt. of Arunachal Pradesh has made a humble beginning to create tourism infrastructure at different locations. It may be noted that Arunachal Pradesh has tremendous scope for development of various types of tourism activities, such as Cultural tourism, Adventure tourism, Historical tourism, Wildlife tourism, Nature based tourism and Eco-tourism. Any developmental programme tapping the latent tourism potential of the state, need to be based on sound understanding of the ground realities and the general of basic infrastructure development.

Inspite of vast tourism potential, Arunachal Pradesh so long remained unexplored to the outside world due to general backwardness of the area in terms of low road length, absence of rail links and airstrips, remoteness and inaccessibility of the area, lack of infrastructural development which holds the progress of development in check and the imposition of Restricted Area Perrmit (RAP)/Protected Area Permit (PAP) and Inner Line Permit (ILP) system.

Keeping in view all the factors and rich tourism potentiality of the State , the Deptt. of Tourism, during last couple of years had taken up various developmental programmes to boost up tourism activities in the state. Some of the achievement made during these period in infrastructural sector are:-

Construction of Tourist Lodges at Dirang , Darak, Zemithang and Ziro. Construction of Cafeteria at Itanagar and Dirang. Construction of Coffee House –cum-guest House at Mayudia. Construction of Hawa Garh at Itanagar and Yazali. Construction of View point at Namdang and Darkang . Electrification at Ganga Lake have been completed. Development around Malinithan was completed .

In addition to above schemes, the following projects have also been taken up recently under Central financial assistance:- Construction of Cafeteria at Tenga Valley, Sessa, Lumla and Jang. Construction of Cafeteria-cum-Souvenir shop at Tipi. Construction of basic amenities at Zemithang and Tawang . Construction of approach road at Tourist Lodge, Zemithang.
