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.
