Accompanied by officials from GMR Passenger Experience, the Department of Tourism, Customs, Immigration, and CISF, the Minister conducted a detailed inspection of the welcome arrangements.

As per the press note, Minister Jupally suggested adorning the arrival area with fresh flowers and traditional mango and banana leaf toranas to create a festive and visually immersive atmosphere.

This is fantastic news for Hyderabad! 👏 Hosting Miss World will put our city on the global map. The cultural showcase with mango leaf toranas sounds beautiful - hope they also include some Hyderabadi biryani stalls for the delegates!

While I appreciate the tourism boost, I hope the government ensures this doesn't become another 'event city' project that benefits only 5-star hotels. The promised welfare activities should actually reach local artisans and small businesses.

As someone from Telangana, I'm so proud! 😊 Our state's rich heritage deserves this global platform. The pearl bazaar, Charminar, and Golconda fort should be part of their itinerary. Hope they taste our famous Irani chai too!

The airport decorations sound wonderful, but I hope they don't forget basic infrastructure. Last time during a big event, the roads were a mess. First impressions matter - fix the potholes before the beautification!

Great initiative! But will this benefit the common people? They should organize cultural exchange programs with local colleges and offer discounted tickets for students. Let's make it inclusive, not just for elites.

Hosting 116 countries is no joke! The tourism department must train local guides properly. Many foreigners are curious about our history - we need storytellers who can explain our monuments beyond textbook facts.
