Additionally, it will host a vibrant music concert, cultural performances, a dedicated food zone, a travel technology showcase, and various competitions to engage visitors.
Reflecting on the importance of National Tourism Day, Mrs Mayal stated, “Tourism extends beyond discovering new destinations; it is about building connections, fostering understanding, and driving economic growth. With India’s tourism sector poised for transformation, the World Travel & Tourism Festival 2025 will catalyze celebration, collaboration, and innovation.”
