The ascendency of India as an economic world power

Indian government is planning to organize two tourism shows in London and New York later this year. The main objective is to promote rich Indian culture to the local people of these two cosmopolitan cities. The two shows will be organized as part of the celebration of India’s 60 years of Independence.

Economic Times reported:

"The mayor of London is helping to hold the 'India New' show, which would be held for three months from July. It will have on display the entire panorama of Indian culture," Tourism Secretary Christy Fernandez said at a meet organised by the Punjab, Haryana and Delhi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI) here Friday evening.

"The show in New York will coincide with the UN General Assembly and will be on from September 22 to 25. It will have on display various facets of India's culture and folk arts," he said.

These shows are part of the government's efforts to promote tourism and attract more visitors from abroad. It aims at conveying the message that India is a "year round" destination with value for money, Fernandez said.

India has a rich culture and tradition. India is rich in historical places and natural beauties. So, good promotional activities like this will increase the number of tourists in India.
