In preparation for the upcoming G20 leaders' summit, the Indian government is making significant arrangements to accommodate dignitaries and delegates from around the world. All five-star hotels in Delhi and large parts of the national capital region have been reserved to host the official delegations, including heads of government from the 20 member nations, observers, special invitees, and prominent figures from global bodies like the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. The event is expected to attract 400-500 attendees, along with their security and media entourages, totalling a few thousand people.

The main venue for the two-day summit, starting on September 9, will be the new Integrated Exhibition-cum Convention Centre, Pragati Maidan. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will personally welcome the leaders, and after day-long discussions, they will reconvene at Pragati Maidan for a cultural event and dinner. The government decided to use the IECC instead of Purana Quila for the cultural evening, which the PM is set to inaugurate.

The summit serves as an opportunity for India to showcase its achievements, including digital public infrastructure, cultural heritage, and democratic values. For the spouses of attending leaders, visits to the ICAR complex on Pusa Road and the National Gallery for Modern Art have been planned. These venues will display items highlighted through the 'One-District One-Product' initiative and various handicrafts. Additionally, electronic payment facilities with UPI QR codes have been set up to allow delegates to conveniently purchase products during some G20 meetings.

As India prepares to host this high-profile gathering, the hospitality sector is playing a crucial role in ensuring a smooth and comfortable stay for distinguished guests. With preparations in full swing, India is ready to make a lasting impression on the world stage.
