The textile industry of West Bengal plays a significant role in the Indian economy, apart from that textile industry even contributes to the industrial output, export and employment sectors. Now, Kolkata-based Supreme Tours & Travels has started organising textile tours in West Bengal.
A very innovative concept began by the company and sees a great demand for it too. The tour include visit to villages like Shantipur, Phulia and Beldanga which are known for their silk and cotton hand-woven saris, dhotis, jacquards and jamdani (muslin) of superfine texture.
Also the textile villages around Shantiniketan, including those known for elaborate batik work and tasar silk weaving are part of the textile tour.
Through this textile tour, tourists get an opportunity to watch women doing traditional kantha embroidery on quilts, garments and other household items.
Supreme Tours & Travels has been a member of Enterprising Travel Agents Association (ETAA) since December 2013 and the initiatives taken by ETAA are very good. They are very supportive and regular with their updates about new products and provide with an opportunity to interact with others.
These textile tours will bring into light the traditional textile of West Bengal and also push the government to develop a modern, vibrant and competitive textile industry to enable the State become a strong hub in global textile supply chain.
