The day’s agenda was packed with enlightening sessions and discussions, starting with the Travel Mart Inaugural Ceremony. After a warm welcome to all dignitaries, Anurag Verma, IAS, Chief Secretary, Punjab, explained the purpose of the summit: “ Rangla Punjab marks the beginning of a new era for tourism in Punjab, a brainchild of our Chief Minister. We are known for hospitality, yet when it comes to the hospitality industry, we are not one of the top rankers. None of our cities is a tourist or wedding destination. With this initiative combined with our abundance of heritage, traditions, and art forms, we are ready to transform Punjab into a global tourist destination. The objective today is to sittogether with industry leaders as equal partners and brainstorm a concrete plan for the same.”

Rakhee Gupta Bhandari, IAS Principal Secretary, Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs , highlighted the government’s strong commitment to boosting tourism and creating opportunities for both visitors and locals . “Rangla Punjab is not just a dream; it is the vision that guides our Chief Minister’s governance. We have turned this vision into a reality in a remarkably short span of 31 days. Historically, the world has seen Punjab in a few hues: red for valour, yellow for sacrifice, and orange for our struggle for freedom. Through this initiative, we unveil the kaleidoscope of colours that Punjab truly is, promising travellers an unforgettable and diverse experience .

During her address, Ms Bhandari shed light on Punjab Tourism’s expansion beyond religious and historical travel. As the Land of Five Rivers, Punjab is ushering in a new era with water and adventure tourism, offering thrilling activities like river rafting and paragliding. Supporting the UN’s 5th SD goal, Rangla Punjab is also structured to empower women in tourism in Punjab. “ With the Punjab Investment Business Development Policy (IBDP), we offer incentives to investors to elevate the state’s reputation for business-friendly policies ,” she remarked.

The ceremony also featured distinguished personalities such as the producer and noted celebrity Kapil Sharma who appreciated Punjab Tourism’s initiative to promote the tourism and film

industry in the State . He also emphasized to invite people from Bollywood to explore new destinations for film shooting.

Ms. Anmol Gagan Maan, Tourism Minister, Punjab, shared insights into key thematic circuits in Punjab: Devotional (Rupnagar, Amritsar, Tarn Taran), Border Tourism (Amritsar, Ferozepur, Fazika) and Wellness (Rupnagar, Hoshiarpur, Gurdaspur, Pathankot), aligning with Punjab’s serene surroundings and rich cultural heritage. She highlighted the ambitious goals to promote water and adventure tourism and emphasised Punjab’s reputation for warm hospitality.

“ Amritsar gets 1.5 lakh religious tourists. About 50,000 of them also cover the Wagah border. Being the land of Bhagat Singh, we also have a lot of patriotic tourism. Our goal is to move beyond the two, so for the past year, we’ve been working on water and adventure tourism policies. The policy for wellness tourism is in the works. As a peace-loving land known for people who go above and beyond to share happiness, there is no better place to travel than Punjab in the current high-stress era.” said Ms Maan.

The inaugural event concluded with the Honourable Chief Minister of Punjab, Mr S. Bhagwant Mann, expressing his vision for the future. “ Punjab is the land of the heart, and that’s what we want to show through Rangla Punjab. We possess all the elements needed to take tourism to uncharted heights, like being in a geographical sweet spot where tourists have to cross Punjab to reach many destinations. No wedding is complete without Punjabi food and songs, ” he proclaimed, underlining Punjab’s potential as a prime tourist destination.

Pointing out that the state has the passion and social bonding to succeed, the CM flawlessly put it: “ Every seed will sprout here, except the seed of hate .” He also spoke about building a ‘Celebration Point’ on the outskirts of Amritsar, introducing Film City to the state, and implementing flexible policies to boost tourism in Punjab. ‘Celebration Point’, consisting of a marriage palace, banquet hall, and more, is a one-stop point for all celebrations.

Following the inauguration, the summit’s thematic sessions were held post lunch covering a wide array of topics were moderated by KPMG, including Amritsar as a tourism destination (both religious & wedding aspects), hinterland & culinary tourism, eco & farm tourism (including adventure & water tourism and women in tourism), wellness tourism, media & entertainment, and heritage tourism.

About Punjab

Https://punjabtourism.punjab.gov.in/.

Welcome To Punjab Tourism | North Western edge of India Deriving its name from five full-bodied rivers–Sutlej, Beas, Ravi, Jhelum, and Chenab–which flow through its vast plains, Punjab is representative of abundant things. Located on the north-western edge of India, it is one of the smaller albeit prosperous states of the nation, and home to a lively, hospitable and dynamic people. Widely acknowledged as the cradle of civilization, it is a land of ethnic and religious diversity, having borne and shaped a number of religious movements that include Sikhism, Buddhism and Sufism. The Punjabi language, too, finds its origin in the Indo-European linguistic family that includes Persian and Latin. Naturally replete with fertile soils and rich water sources, it is primarily an agricultural state, and has continually and infinitely contributed towards the food security of the Indian Republic.

Punjab to host tourism summit from Sep 11 to 13

Chandigarh, Sep 6 (IANS) The First Punjab Tourism Summit and Travel Mart 2023 from September 11 to 13 in Mohali will open a new avenue for tourism prospectus, Tourism and Culture Affairs Minister Anmol Gagan Maan said here on Wednesday.

She said Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s commitment to the development of tourism has paved the way for the summit as he had announced this event during the Progressive Punjab Investor Summit in February.

Highlighting the significance of the summit, Gagan Maan said, “Tourism is not just an industry, it’s a window to our heritage and a testament to our hospitality.”

 “Through the Punjab Tourism Summit, we are resolute in our mission to unveil the untapped treasures of Punjab to the world, showcasing our rich heritage and welcoming spirit.”

To give a big boost to the tourism industry of the state, a three-day Rangla Punjab Tourism Summit will be organised from September 11 at Amity University, SAS Nagar (Mohali). @PunjabGovtIndia @CMOPb @AnmolGaganMann @PunjabTourisms pic.twitter.com/6pGox9eLq0 — Invest Punjab (@invest_punjab) September 6, 2023

She said Punjab has already occupied a special place in the world on the map of religious tourism, but the beauty blessed by nature is yet to be explored.

Emphasizing the government's dedication to sustainable tourism practices, she said: “We are opening our rivers, dams, forests and mountains to tourists while preserving and protecting the natural beauty. This aligns with our commitment to eco-friendly tourism, promoting responsible exploration of our magnificent landscapes.”

The minister said various tourist destinations have been meticulously identified and are being prepared for visitors. “We are committed to offering a holistic experience to travellers by enhancing infrastructure and services at these destinations.”

She said major investors will be participating in the summit. She hoped these partnerships and their potential will drive the growth of state’s tourism sector.

Maan said the government has introduced online registration for three schemes -- Farm Stay; Bed and Breakfast Homestay; and Tented Accommodation and Camping Sites, reducing compliance burdens for businesses.

At present, 56 farmhouse properties, 84 bed and breakfast units and seven tented accommodation units have been registered with the department.

She said the government has already allocated resources for hosting festivals and events like the Sixth Military Literature Festival, commemorating the 50th anniversary of Faridkot district and signing a pact with the Indian Council for Cultural Relations to promote the state’s art and culture.
