Bed & Breakfast Tourism
Bed and Breakfast Tourism is our effort to implement Social Entrepreneurship Model in Tourism Sector. Tourists or Travellers going to Jammu-Kashmir , Arunachal, Assam etc. are the primary customers, and we request them to stay in the homes of local population instead of hotels. This brings about an exchange of ideas, thoughts and mixing of cultures, exactly the way we want, that is through human contact!
