In his address, the Chief Minister stated how districts like Ahmedabad, Nadiad, Khambhat, and Surat have emerged as prominent hubs for kite production, contributing greatly to India’s kite export business to countries like US, UK and Canada.

The annual festival sees visitors from across the country as well as abroad, making a beeline for the city to experience ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunity in kite flying.

A foreign tourist, who visited the city to partake in the Kite Festival said, “I like kites, I design my own kites. I have flown them five times from the rooftops now and I like it a lot.”

“He has done many good things for the country. I think he is one of the best prime ministers in the world,” he further said, sharing his opinion on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

A foreign woman tourist said, “Do I like Gujarat? Yes, of course. I also spent some time in Goa, and it was really beautiful there as well. I really like the food here, though sometimes it’s a bit too spicy, but I do enjoy it – it’s really tasty.”
