The recognition celebrates the innovative Madhya Pradesh Tourism Experience Centre; an immersive, first-of-its-kind platform that introduces young audiences to the state’s rich cultural, natural, and historical heritage.
Shri Sheo Shekhar Shukla, Additional Chief Secretary for Tourism, Culture, Home, and Religious Trust & Endowment, and Managing Director of the Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board, said, “This recognition is a testament to our longstanding association with KidZania India and our shared commitment to creating meaningful, future-oriented tourism experiences.

Together, we have built an experience that not only entertains but also inspires curiosity and responsible travel among young audiences. We are delighted that this joint effort has been acknowledged by the experiential marketing community, reinforcing our belief in innovation-driven, impactful tourism outreach.”
Tarandeep Singh Sekhon, Chief Business Officer at KidZania India, said, “This recognition reflects a simple but powerful idea: travel experiences for children should leave lasting impressions, not just memories. Our partnership with the Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board goes beyond attraction; it’s about planting seeds of curiosity that grow into lifelong appreciation for India’s heritage. By designing interactive journeys that make culture tangible and accessible, we’re helping young visitors understand themselves as part of a larger story. That’s the kind of impact we aspire to create across every destination we engage with.”
Developed in collaboration with the Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board, the Madhya Pradesh Tourism Experience Centre features two high-impact virtual journeys: an engaging Jungle Safari and an exhilarating River Rafting simulation. Using advanced VR, motion sensors, and 3D immersive technologies, the experience brings the biodiversity, landscapes, and ecological treasures of Madhya Pradesh to life in a way that is both educational and captivating for children.
With this award, KidZania India and the Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board reaffirm their shared dedication to building impactful, purpose-driven experiences that leave lasting impressions on young explorers. The organisations remain committed to expanding engaging, responsible, and immersive tourism storytelling that inspires future generations and strengthens India’s experiential learning ecosystem.
