In an effort to promote the 2010 Commonwealth Games which will take place in Delhi Oct 3-14, the ministry of tourism organised a road show in Johannesburg coinciding with the relay of the Queen’s baton there.

The event which took place Tuesday saw 10 double-decker buses with images of the Incredible India campaign being flagged off by the South African Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, M. Mashabane and the Consul General of India, Vikram Doraiswamy, along with T.S. Darbari, joint director general of the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee.

While the event was followed by presentations of the Incredible India campaign and the Commonwealth Games with a generous dose of Indian music and dance, the main highlight of the evening was a dinner in which cuisine representing various regions of India were laid out.

More than 200 people belonging to a cross-section of the African travel and trade industry attended the event.
