Punjabi Culture Showcased at Amritsar Airport on World Tourism Day

Amritsar Airport marked World Tourism Day with a short cultural programme that highlighted the heritage of Punjab. The display featured traditional music, folk dance, regional attire and samples of local cuisine, offering passengers a taste of the state’s vibrant culture. Airport officials said the initiative aimed to promote tourism by giving visitors a first‑hand glimpse of Punjabi traditions as they arrived or departed. The event was open to all travelers passing through the terminal, with performances staged in the arrival lounge. Organisers hope such cultural showcases will become a regular feature on special observances.

The showcase was timed to coincide with the global observance of World Tourism Day, underscoring India’s effort to celebrate its diverse cultural assets. By integrating local art forms into the airport environment, authorities sought to enhance the travel experience and encourage tourists to explore Punjab’s attractions beyond the city.

No additional ceremonies or official speeches were reported, and the focus remained on the visual and auditory elements that represent Punjabi identity.
