GANGTOK,: Tourism suffered a global meltdown in these two years of Covid pandemic. Sikkim is no exception, particularly when its entire economy is driven by lakhs of tourists visiting the Himalayan State annually. But as the world adapts to a new normal, tourism is also returning with resilience and innovative attractions for the travellers.
One such courageous addition to Sikkim Tourism in this turbulent period is Vivanta Sikkim, a 5-star luxury hotel at Pakyong. Located just 7.5 km away from the State’s lone airport, the IHCL-operated hotel comfortably adds value to the high-end tourism mantra of the State.
Strengthening the Sikkimese ethos and participation is local ownership through Skipping Stones Pvt Ltd which owns the Vivanta Sikkim Pakyong hotel spread over its land of 3.5 acre. The 50-room hotel is operated by Indian Hotels Company (IHCL), a reputed national hospitality company which also operates the famed Taj Group of Hotels.
“We are a local company and we are extremely proud to introduce our hotel Vivanta Sikkim Pakyong to be operated by the reputed IHCL. We are targeting high end tourists and we are optimistic of getting good business while also adding value to Sikkim Tourism. We have spared no effort or resources to blend nature with modern comforts in this hotel. The airport is also near us which gives us a good advantage,” said Shrada Sharma, the managing director of Skipping Stones Pvt Ltd.
