The Uttar Pradesh government, in a bid to position the state as the countrys most favoured tourism destination, is set to promote the states tourist hotspots at major airports across India. Uttar Pradeshs tourist destinations are already being showcased at various railway stations, bus terminals, airports and high-traffic locations within the state. Now, this initiative is expanding to include major airports across the country. In line with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanaths vision, preparations have been made to promote Brand UP at five major airports in India initially, with plans for further expansion as needed. Under this scheme, Brand UP will be highlighted through large display boards at strategic locations in airports, including the arrival and departure areas of both international and domestic terminals in Delhi and Mumbai. These displays will provide information on the diverse tourist attractions and the vibrant tourism landscape of Uttar Pradesh. Similar promotional efforts for Brand UP will also be prioritised at various terminals in Kolkata, Coimbatore and Indore. The Uttar Pradesh Tourism Department has already initiated this process, with preparations underway for its swift implementation. Uttar Pradesh is renowned both nationally and internationally for its rich and diverse culture, as well as its numerous events and festivals. In line with this, the Uttar Pradesh Tourism Department is actively promoting the states vibrant cities, attractions, natural landscapes, wildlife, adventure tourism destinations, cuisine, heritage, religion and culture through various branding initiatives, aiming to establish the state as a top tourist destination in India. Tourism plays a crucial role in the economic growth of Uttar Pradesh, significantly contributing to employment generation both directly and indirectly. This sector is also vital to the states goal of becoming a trillion-dollar economy. Recognising the importance of tourism, the Yogi government has already designated it as a priority sector. Following Chief Minister Yogi Adityanaths vision, this initiative is being advanced as a strategic and organised effort to unlock the sectors vast potential and transform Uttar Pradesh into a major tourist hub.
