Speaking at the event, GOEL also gave a push for the government to promote tourism under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The run of the 16th champion not only celebrated the spirit of tourism, but also served as a reminder of the untapped potential within the country’s cultural and historical assets. From redeveloped heritage sites to new attractions, Delhi is increasingly positioning itself as a destination for both domestic and international travelers.
The event was aligned with the Government’s ‘Dekho Apna Desh’ campaign to explore India’s diverse tourism offerings, with citizens and sportspersons alike participating in the event.
