The 14th edition of the ITM organised by the Union Ministry of Tourism in association with the Arunachal Pradesh government and other Northeastern state governments. The three-day Mart, being held from October 29 to 31, aims to showcase the tourism potential of the eight Northeastern states and strengthen business engagement with domestic and international tourism markets.

He also emphasised the importance of the Ministry's initiatives, Dekho Apna Desh 2.0 and the National Digital Tourism Stack, in promoting lesser-known destinations and improving digital visibility and market access for local tourism service providers. As part of the ITM, the North East Bazaar was inaugurated, showcasing traditional handicrafts, handlooms and other cultural offerings of the region. A cultural programme highlighting the rich traditions of the Northeastern states was also organised. The Mart will feature tourism presentations by all eight Northeastern states and structured B2B meetings.

Digital Desk | Manchester, Oct 29 (IANS) Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has backed Bruno Fernandes commitment to the club, insisting the Portuguese midfielder will continue to lead the team as captain ahead of their Premier League clash against Chelsea on Saturday.

Theres no decision to be made on that, Carrick told reporters when asked whether Fernandes would continue as captain. Bruno is fully committed to the football club; there are no issues with that. We look ahead to the game on Saturday, he added.

However, Carrick stressed that the 31-year-old remained an important figure in the squad and was determined to help the team improve its performances. Listen, we are clear on the situation of the team and as a football club at the moment. As Ive just said, he is an important player for this group; he has been, and he will be, Carrick said.

Digital Desk | Margao (Goa), Oct 29 (IANS) The sixth edition of Ironman 70.3 Goa took a step closer to race day on Thursday with the unveiling of the official jersey and medal at a press conference at Fortune Miramar, Goa. Inspired by the tiles that tell Goa's stories, the two pieces stand for the journey ahead and the journey conquered, and carry a piece of Goa home with every athlete. The unveiling was held in the presence of Jeremy Kann, Head of Global Partnerships, Ironman, and Deepak Raj, Country Head, Ironman India, and Race Director, Ironman 70.3 GOA, India.

In our first year we had about 25 to 30 Goans on the start line. Now that community has grown to 150, said Deepak Raj, Country Head, Ironman India and Race Director, Ironman 70.3 Goa, India.
