The growth in tourism sector is expected to rise further in the coming decades as the sector is expanding fast. Present paper highlights the special touristic features and virtue of Seven Sisters, the role of Seven Sisters in promoting tourism industry all across the world and to know their contribution in strengthening the Indian economy by attracting millions of dollar. To measure all above objectives, data and information has been collected through secondary sources including Books, Magazines, Journals, E-Journals, Internet, Reports of WTO, Ministry of Tourism, and World Travel and Tourism Council etc. After analyzing all the facts it can be concluded that tourism industry in Northern Region is expanding day by day and contributing a lot towards the economic development of society by providing employment opportunities and huge increase in foreign exchange earning.
