World Tourism Day 2020

I was fortunate enough to be a part of a superbike rally organized by Govt. of Odisha on World Tourism Day 2020.





The rally had around 80 superbikes from different biker groups.  I participated with the HOG- Kalinga Chapter (#kalingachapter) with 36 other members.

 

The rally route was from Infocity Square to Dhauli Stupa (via Jaydev Vihar- Governor House-Kalpana Square). All of us assembled at 6:45 am at the Infocity square and had snacks & beverages before starting the ride.



 The Minister of Tourism, Culture and Language for Odisha Govt. was the Chief Guest for the function and he flagged off the rally at 7:30 am. 


All the riders drove off in staggered formation and the Odisha Police guided and made way on the route for a safe rally to Dhauli Stupa. Around 8:00 -8:15 a.m., all of us reached the destination, parked our rides in marked spaces and moved to take the refreshments.

The food and beverages at both - the starting point and destination were organised by OTDC panthanivas.







The stage was set and all the dignitaries were welcomed. One by one the dignitaries addressed the riders. Proper safety protocol in these pandemic times was taken throughout the rally and function. Measures like masking, hand hygiene and social distancing were followed. The Chief Minister’s message and vision for the World Tourism Day 2020 was conveyed to us. The riders were asked to explore Odisha by road and were sponsored for a one night stay on twin sharing basis at any of the OTDC resorts in Odisha. There were biker groups from outside Odisha also. A special demonstration by a Guiness World record holder for most coconuts broken in a minute by bare hands and bodyparts was staged for everyone to enjoy. Winners of the Photography contest themed on Odisha Tourism were announced. 




After completing a well organised rally and event, our HOG- Kalinga Chapter group headed on our route to Panchalingeswar Panthanivas,  Niligiri, Balasore for our sponsored stay.
