    Zee packs a travel punch with MP Tourism’s influencer campaign mandate

    MUMBAI: Heritage walks meet hashtags and tiger trails turn into trending tales, that’s the fresh spin Madhya Pradesh Tourism is gearing up for. Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd. (ZEE), the content-and-tech powerhouse, has bagged the Influencer and Social Media Marketing mandate from the Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board, announced during the two-day Regional Tourism Conclave for Gwalior and Chambal on 29–30 August 2025.

    The announcement, made in the presence of chief minister Mohan Yadav, tourism & culture minister Dharmendra Singh Lodhi, and managing director of MP Tourism Board Sheo Shekhar Shukla (IAS), puts Zee at the digital helm of promoting the state’s famed wildlife parks, cultural festivals, and hidden heritage gems. Under this year-long pact, Zee will deploy its ‘dilfluencer’ initiative, a network of characters with deep audience connect to craft influencer-driven campaigns that push Madhya Pradesh’s stories beyond state borders and onto global screens.

    Zee chief sales officer for hindi GEC and FTA GEC Cluster Ali Zaidi received the agreement on behalf of the company. He called the collaboration “an opportunity to showcase the cultural richness of Madhya Pradesh through innovative influencer-led campaigns,” adding that it also “takes the dilfluencers initiative to the next level by delivering measurable value while celebrating India’s tourism potential.”

    The timing couldn’t be better. With MP’s big-ticket Travel Mart around the corner, influencer-led narratives are set to anchor the Board’s larger vision of drawing in new-age travellers through digital-first storytelling. From rural tourism and heritage trails to wildlife safaris and local festivals, every slice of Madhya Pradesh life is poised for amplification.

    Zee, which already prides itself on blending entertainment with tech-led solutions, is pitching this collaboration as more than just an ad brief, it’s a chance to shape conversations, build community-led buzz, and reframe tourism in the language of reels, stories, and viral videos. For Madhya Pradesh, it’s a step toward ensuring that when people scroll for their next adventure, the “Heart of India” pops up first on their feeds.

    MUMBAI: Move over metro exclusivity, the wave has officially reached Madhya Pradesh. Imagicaaworld Entertainment Limited, under the Malpani Group, has unveiled Aqua Imagicaa, the largest water park in Central India, making a grand entry near Indore with a deluge of rides, jobs, and tourism promise.

    Formally inaugurated in Paliya on the Indore–Ujjain Highway by chief minister Mohan Yadav, along with senior ministers Kailash Vijayvargiya, Tulsi Silawat, and Dharmendra Bhav Singh Lodhi, the launch signals a strategic splash in the state’s leisure and economic landscape.

    Spread across themed zones with 20 plus international-standard water attractions, the park blends thrill slides, family play areas, and child-friendly zones, all backed by global safety and water recycling standards. It’s designed as an all-weather retreat for locals, tourists, and adrenaline seekers from across the region.

    “This is a proud and defining moment not just for us, but for Madhya Pradesh,” said Malpani Group chairman Rajesh Malpani. “Aqua Imagicaa is more than a park, it’s a lifestyle and tourism anchor, creating joyful memories and boosting economic opportunity far beyond city limits.”

    The project has already generated 300 direct jobs, with hundreds more expected through sectors like transport, food & beverage, retail, and allied tourism. Sustainability is woven into the design, with advanced filtration systems ensuring clean, safe water and eco-friendly operations.

    From Sai Teerth in Shirdi to the flagship park near Mumbai, Imagicaa’s expansion into MP is part of a broader push to democratise world-class recreation across India. Positioned between Indore and Ujjain, Aqua Imagicaa aims to be both a weekend hotspot and a symbol of inclusive development proof that fun, in Madhya Pradesh, is now a serious business.
