World Heritage Day 2025: MP Highlights Its Timeless Treasures
Sanchi, Khajuraho & Bhimbetka Shine as MP Champions Sustainable Tourism
BHOPAL, MADHYA PRADESH, INDIA, April 18, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- On World Heritage Day 2025, Madhya Pradesh Tourism has highlighted the state's exceptional role in preserving India's cultural and historical legacy. Home to three UNESCO World Heritage Sites — the Khajuraho Group of Monuments, Sanchi Stupa, and the Rock Shelters of Bhimbetka — Madhya Pradesh stands as a vibrant testament to the nation's architectural brilliance and rich past.
To mark the occasion, the state is hosting heritage walks, cultural performances, expert talks, and interactive exhibitions across its iconic sites. These events aim to raise awareness about heritage conservation while offering immersive cultural experiences to visitors.
Often called the 'Heart of Incredible India,' Madhya Pradesh is a living museum of art, history, and spirituality. The sculpted elegance of Khajuraho, the serene symbolism of Sanchi, and the prehistoric storytelling of Bhimbetka reveal layers of human civilization. Other significant heritage sites such as Gwalior Fort, Orchha, Mandu, and the Bhojeshwar Temple add depth to the state's cultural landscape.
Under its Responsible Tourism Mission, the state has adopted sustainable practices to protect and promote these treasures. From the ancient rock art of Chambal to the lesser-known caves of Dhamnar, Madhya Pradesh is making its heritage more accessible while preserving its authenticity.
Mr Sheo Shekhar Shukla, Principal Secretary, Tourism & Culture, and Managing Director, Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board, said:
'World Heritage Day is a reminder of our duty to safeguard cultural legacy. Madhya Pradesh remains committed to conservation, sustainable tourism, and global recognition. Through innovation and community engagement, we strive to make heritage a shared pride and experience.'
Madhya Pradesh Tourism continues to champion the conservation and celebration of heritage through eco-conscious tourism, community partnerships, and international collaborations — ensuring these wonders endure for generations to come.

Building Community Through Travel 'Our social events, engaging activities, and welcoming resort atmosphere help owners build memories that last a lifetime,'— Travis Bary, Co-President of Capital Vacations MYRTLE BEACH, SC, SC, UNITED STATES, June 6, 2025 / / -- Vacation ownership offers more than just a place to stay—it creates meaningful connections and a strong sense of community among owners.

This Popular Asian Island Has UNESCO Sites That Are Typically Closed to the Public—but You Could See Them This Summer
Jeju Island has long been a place of allure, some calling it the "Hawaii of Korea," while others have been enchanted by its set-jetting charms through the long list of K-pop dramas set there. Known for its dramatic volcanic landscapes (from Hallasan National Park to Cheonjeyeon Falls), unique culinary scene (Jeju Black pork, anyone?), and quirky culture (like a teddy bear museum!), the South Korean island is a rare destination that's a triple threat of UNESCO sites, inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 2007, as well as a Biosphere Reserve in 2002 and Global Geopark in 2015. To showcase all of its natural assets, the Jeju World Natural Heritage Village Preservation Association is bringing back its World Heritage Festival from July 4 to July 22. While the purpose of the sixth edition of this event is to 'promote the universal value and significance of Jeju Island's UNESCO-listed natural heritage sites,' for locals and travelers alike, it's also a chance to see the sites like never before, according to Korea JoongAng Daily. Throughout the 19-day event, the UNESCO-honored Hallasan Natural Reserve, Geomunoreum Lava Tube System, and Seongsan Ilchulbong Tuff Cone will all be thrust into the spotlight, while the opening ceremony and performances throughout the celebration will highlight the area's cultural traditions. Perhaps the most unique aspect of the festival are special expeditions that invite visitors inside sections of the sites that are usually off limits. This year's programming includes tours of the geological wonders of the Gimnyeonggul and Bengdwigul lava tubes, both part of the Geomunoreum Lava Tube System, which UNESCO said is "regarded as the finest lava tube system of caves anywhere, with its multicolored carbonate roofs and floors and dark-colored lava walls.' Another festival highlight is the walking tour following the lava path, divided into three sections, starting with following the road carved by lava, then a cave section before reaching a stone section that represents new life, including limestone formations and endemic plants in forested areas, a true immersive journey through the volcanic flow. Other events include Hallasan hikes, including the night sunrise hike through the natural reserve, forums with global leaders, and a heritage village to enjoy 'tours, experiences, and performances, and hear the rough, special, and honest stories of people who were born and raised in this World Heritage site,' the festival site explained.
