Identifying genuine heritage tourists and
determining their experience patterns as
regards events becomes very important for
Odisha; i.e., heritage tourists must be profiled
keeping in view the engagements with events in
prospect.
The co – ordination between heritage and
tourism in the settings of events in Odisha
should be comprehended for effective brand
campaign.
The State needs to use its cultural heritage
ambience and associations as a setting for
event tourism.
Modification of the brand image of Odisha
Tourism by incorporating the brand values of

fetch great rewards.
