Meghalaya Motorcaravan Scheme
About Meghalaya Motorcaravan Scheme
A component of the CM-ELEVATE Program under the Tourism Department, Government of Meghalaya, the Meghalaya Motorcaravan Scheme backs travel experiences built around motorcaravans (campervans) in order to promote alternative tourism models and boost rural and eco-tourism. Entrepreneurs receive 50% financial support on the project cost and easier credit through partner banks, so they can buy and run motorcaravans throughout the state. The government hopes the initiative will open up new tourism opportunities, back local entrepreneurs and improve sustainable travel in Meghalaya.
