Going by the 'linking culture with tourism' theme of this year's world tourism day, the state government and travel industry have planned a melange of cultural activities at various tourist destinations in the state on Tuesday.
The objective of the festival was to showcase India's art, culture, cuisine and business and provide a platform for the Japanese to connect with India.
World Tourism Day on September 27, tourism and allied infrastructure are in not-so-good shape in Ernakulam district.
World Tourism Day bring in a lot of enthusiasm and activities around the country.
For instance: Some Japanese tourists performed Odissi dance at the two-day carnival, he added. "Japanese tourists were impressed by our art, culture and cuisine. The festival is an ideal platform allowing people of India and Japan to interact and understand each other's rich culture," Dash said.
Meanwhile, Puri-based Barefoot voluntary organization has decided to organise a musical concert at the temple town on the occasion of world tourism day on Tuesday. "We will give warm welcome to visitors at the railway station. Well-decorated cycle-rickshaws will take out a procession," Barefoot chief Yugabrat Kar said.
The state tourism department is also organizing a 'heritage walk' programme in Bhubaneswar on the day. "Tourists would walk around different temples in Old Town. Recreational programmes have been lined up," an officer said. In Puri, the department is taking out a tableau to showcase the art and culture of the state.
Capping the day on a sweet note, state-run Orissa Tourism Development Corporation (OTDC) would inaugurate 'pitha parlour' at Pantha Niwas, where food lovers can partake of nearly 10 different types of Oriya pithas. "Pithas like Manda, Kakara, Arisa and Poda Pitha would be available here," OTDC general manager M R Pattnaik said.
