Commuters and attendees are strongly advised to follow the official social media handles of the Guwahati traffic police for real-time updates on traffic conditions.
A Boost for Assam's Concert Tourism
This concert is a landmark event for Assam, as it is the first major rock concert organized under the state government's newly adopted concert tourism policy. The policy aims to position Assam as a leading destination for music and entertainment tourism. It focuses on creating a vibrant ecosystem that supports large-scale concerts and festivals, which in turn is expected to provide a significant boost to the local economy.
The economic benefits are projected to spread across multiple sectors, including:
- Food and beverage
- Retail and hospitality
- Public and private transportation
Furthermore, the initiative aims to generate substantial employment opportunities within host cities like Guwahati.
Vision for World-Class Entertainment
At the heart of the state's policy is a vision to develop world-class concert venues equipped with state-of-the-art sound and lighting technology. This infrastructure is crucial for delivering an immersive and high-quality experience for audiences, attracting more international and national artists to the region.
With thousands of fans expected to descend on Khanapara for Post Malone's performance, the traffic plan meticulously balances celebration with safety. The ultimate goal is to ensure a seamless passage for both concertgoers and daily commuters, marking a successful start to Assam's ambitious journey in concert tourism.
