After a successful collaboration with the NFDC Film Bazaar in 2015, Gujarat Tourism returns as a State Partner this year to aggressively promote the state as a film friendly destination.
The state of Gujarat, which bagged 3 awards in Tourism and the “Most Film Friendly State”, has been following an aggressive tourism policy approach in the area of developing & promoting tourism. Gujarat state Tourism participated in the Film Bazaar for the first time in 2012 and took up a Film Office in 2015 to promote Gujarat as filming destination. Gujarat awarded the National Award for being the “Most Film Friendly State” in 2015, which has been introduced as a new category under the National Film Awards & executed by the FFO.
The award was conferred to the State of Gujarat, for its effort in the direction of ease of doing business in respect of facilitation of shooting films in the state. Film Bazaar facilitated Gujarat in setting up one – on – one meetings with some of the prominent Bollywood filmmakers including, Rajkumar Hirani, Anurag Kashyap, Kabir Khan, Anurag Basu, Vikas Bahl, Rohan Sippy, & Karan Malhotra who gave constructive feedback to the state tourism department.
