Under a strategic partnership, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed to establish the Madhya Pradesh Tourism Experience Center at KidZania in Mumbai and Delhi/NCR respectively.

This effort aims to create a generational bond with the future generation. Through engaging and entertaining methods like 3D, virtual reality, and treasure hunts, children will learn about the state’s tourist spots. This will not only attract children to visit the state with their families but will also keep them connected with the state tourism throughout their lives.”
The collaboration aims to leverage KidZania’s expertise in providing immersive learning experiences. Expressing his excitement about the partnership, Rahul Dhamdhere, Chief Marketing Officer, KidZania said “KidZania is thrilled to partner with a government body and tourism board for the first time.
