Dakshin Bharat Utsav (DBU) is a thoughtful initiative from the Department of Tourism, Government of Karnataka and the Federation of Karnataka Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FKCCI) to boost tourism and business opportunities related to tourism sector in the southern states like Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala and Puducherry. The "One State, Many Worlds" of Karnataka beckons the traveller and the business and the prospective investing community alike to explore it as well as its neighbouring attractions in south India. Let us come together to celebrate! My best wishes forthe success of the Dakshin Bharat Utsay.
The Department of Tourism, Government of Karnataka has taken a very good initiative to partner with the southern states and showcase the popularity and potential of their tourist destinations. Apart from the boost it will provide for the tourism sector, the Dakshin Bharat Utsav Exhibition & Conference 2024 will be notable for holding Ministerial/Secretarial Conclaves to plug the discrepancies clogging tourism and make it an ideal combination of business and pleasure. Another value-addition will be the Tourism Investors Meet which will showcase the diverse opportunities available for small and medium businesses to invest in the southern states. The collective goal of the Dakshin Bharat Utsav is to take concrete steps to help increase the contribution of the tourism sector to the respective State's GDP. My best wishes to the organisers, the stakeholders and the participants.
The Dakshin Bharat Utsav, a collaboration between the Department of Tourism, Government of Karnataka and FKCCI aims to boost tourism in all southern States. Karnataka as one of the most sought tourist destinations in the country is taking the lead to take tourism to the next level. By increasing awareness among the hot tourist destinations both in Karnataka as well as the neighbouring States, we will be able to leverage our geographic proximity to increase tourist footfalls to our respective regions. We are also confident that the Tourism Investor Meet and exchange on improving tourist infrastructure will bring about a lasting change in the tourism sector.
