Lucknow (UP), September 27 (ANI): On World Tourism Day, Uttar Pradesh’s Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath highlights the tourism importance of the state and also mentioned popular cultural and historical sites contributing to tourism of the state. He made special mention of sites like Ayodhya, Kashi, Mathura, Prayagraj. He said, “I extend greetings to all of you on World Tourism Day. I am happy that places connected to India's spiritual & religious traditions have been successful in attracting not only Uttar Pradesh but the entire world from a tourism point of view. Under the visionary leadership of PM Narendra Modi, last year more than 46 crore tourists visited sites of religious, spiritual and eco-tourism or heritage tourism in Uttar Pradesh. These tourists do not come to Uttar Pradesh just for tourism, they also play a major role in the generation of employment in UP. Today, UP is known for its quality connectivity - be it road connectivity, train connectivity, air connectivity or waterway connectivity, we have all of these available today. I would also like to remind you about the Prayagraj Mahakumbh 2025 that will begin on Makar Sankranti 2025 and continue till February 26, 2025. We believe that 40 crore devotees from across the world will participate in it.”
