The area is a major tourist hub that attracts more than 6 million visitors per annum, and hence was considered ideal to house a centre to narrate the evolution of Tourism itself. One of the major attractions of the scheme is an underground tunnel that originates in the Museum courtyard and leads to the exhibition centre.
