This is what tourism minister K Chiranjeevi has done for the delegates of the United Nation World Tourism Organsiation conference, which begins in Hyderabad from Friday.

This is what tourism minister K Chiranjeevi has done for the delegates of the United Nation World Tourism Organsiation (UNWTO) conference, which begins in Hyderabad from Friday.

The three-day conference will also coincide with the 25th joint meeting of the UNWTO Commission for East Asia, Pacific and South Asia. About 200 delegates from 29 countries are expected to attend the event.

“I wanted the delegates to get a feel of the country they were coming to,” Chiranjeevi told HT.

This video will make them experience what we have planned for them a few weeks before they come to India, he said adding, “It might be because of this enticing video that for the first time in recent years all member countries have confirmed their participation.”
