New Delhi: On the special occasion of World Tourism Day,  deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia inaugurated a state-of-the art facility auditorium at Dilli Haat in Janakpuri. This year’s theme “Tourism and the Digital Transformation”  is based on how digital technologies are disrupting the sector.

The auditorium embodies these digital developments with state of the art facilities and techniques to create the best virtual experience for the visitors.

With a seating capacity of 800 people, the auditorium is one of the biggest hall spaces available in West Delhi.

Speaking at the ceremony, the deputy CM said, “It is a matter of pride for us to present this state of art auditorium to the citizens of Delhi. While there are so many artists and art lovers in Delhi, there is a real issue of good venues. Delhi hosts some of the best artists in the country and they deserve best facilities. Many of the existing venues remain in Lutyens Delhi. The Delhi Government is serious about the role of art and culture in shaping the society. We hope to expand the cultural scene and develop art centres like this in different parts of the city.”

The inauguration was followed by a soulful performance by Satinder Sartaaj, famous Punjab Sufi Singer that left the audience mesmerized.

“Celebrating World Tourism Day in its full swing, Delhi Tourism had organised special programmes/band performances across all its Dilli Haats and the Garden of Five Senses offering free entry for senior citizens and children. Delhi Tourism ensured the inclusion of all, special sightseeing tours were arranged for differently-abled children and senior citizens,” an official statement said.
