This paper will discuss the tourism policy in Mizoram, its development, and prospects. Coming to terms with tourism as an important industry in 1993, Mizoram subsequently pursued its plan using the Responsible Tourism Policy 2020 that encourages responsible practices in line with national objectives. This study evaluates the effect of the state laws, such as the Mizoram Registration of Tourist Trade Act, on responsible tourism and tourist satisfaction by analysing secondary data. It underlines the economic importance of tourism; the necessity of adaptive policymaking to satisfy the new demands; the need to discuss the significance of branding, promotion, and timely distribution of credible tourist information to increase the popularity of Mizoram and tourism development.
