Experiencing the Essence of ‘Incredible Madhya Pradesh’ through FAM Trips
In line with Chief Minister Dr. Yadav’s vision to promote Madhya Pradesh’s tourism potential and attract investment, a series of Pre and Post FAM Trips have been organized under MPTM 2025. A total of 14 curated FAM trips are being held, with participation from over 200 delegates from India and abroad.
The pre-FAM trips covered renowned destinations such as Khajuraho, Panna, Orchha, Bhimbetka, Madhai, Pachmarhi, Indore, Maheshwar, Mandu, Ujjain, Jabalpur, Kanha, Pench, and Bhopal.
Through these experiential journeys, the delegates explored Madhya Pradesh’s rural lifestyle, ancient heritage, rich traditions, and natural beauty up close. They also engaged with local art forms, handicrafts, and community life — gaining an authentic understanding of the “Incredible Madhya Pradesh” experience.
These interactions have deepened the appreciation of both domestic and international tour operators for the state’s diverse tourism offerings and are expected to pave the way for new collaborations, promotional opportunities, and tourism investments in the near future.
