Greater Noida: In a grand ceremony held at the Greater Noida India Expo and Mart Ground, Dr. Sandeep Marwah was felicitated for his exceptional contributions to the tourism industry. The prestigious honor was bestowed upon him during the Global Destination Expo and Conference (GDEC), organized by ICONEX.
Dr. Sandeep Marwah, a visionary leader in the film and media sector, made a significant impact on the tourism landscape with his pioneering work. As early as 1986, he introduced the term “Film and Cultural Tourism” in the English dictionary when he conceptualized the ground breaking project of Noida Film City. Undeterred by the initial lack of awareness about this concept, he established his studios in Noida Film City in 1991, effectively putting Film and Cultural Tourism on the global map.
His relentless efforts have paid off, as Dr. Marwah has successfully attracted an astounding three million visitors from 156 countries to Marwah Studios. Furthermore, the footfall to Noida Film City has now crossed an impressive milestone of approximately ninety million over the past thirty years.
The prestigious award was presented to Dr. Sandeep Marwah by the revered figure in the tourism industry, Mr. Subhash Goyal, in the presence of esteemed members from the film and tourism fraternity. Mr. Goyal commended Dr. Marwah as an extraordinary worker with innovative ideas, stating that there is no one else in the world who can compare to his unparalleled contributions.
Dr. Marwah expressed his gratitude for the recognition and vowed to continue his dedicated efforts in advancing the realms of Film and Cultural Tourism. His work has not only elevated India’s position on the global tourism map but has also earned widespread acclaim for the nation’s rich cultural heritage.
