Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that The Journey Is the Destination is a docudrama about Daniel Eldon, a news photographer and humanitarian who was killed in Somalia in 1993, at the age of 22. A talented idealist, Eldon committed himself to "changing the world" by advocating for the people of Africa under fire and facing poverty, as well as by using his photographs to make countless others aware of their plight. In addition to a number of tragic deaths in the movie, there are many scenes that show the horrors of war: civilians under fire, explosions, armed combat, and many shots of the dead -- victims of massacres who have been burned, skinned, and mutilated. Photos also show the emaciated bodies of children who died of starvation. Characters swear (e.g., "s--t," "f--k," "p---y") and are shown drinking and getting drunk. Spoiler alert : A young woman refers to her sexual mutilation as a child. Disturbing and graphically violent, this movie is not for kids.

What's the Story?

THE JOURNEY IS THE DESTINATION is the true-life story of Daniel Eldon ( Ben Schnetzer ). Born to white, European parents, Eldon was raised in Kenya and grew up with an affinity and compassion for the African people. Multitalented and adventurous, he worked as a journalist, leaving behind an impressive collection of scrapbooks with photos, cartoons, collages, and writings about his experiences, as well as the impressive photographs he took while actively working for Reuters news service (the youngest member of a wartime team in the organization's history). Though his life was shortened by violence, it was a life of adventure, spirit, and accomplishment. Director Bronwen Hughes follows Eldon over the years from 1988 to 1993. During that time, he organized other young people to deliver resources to Africa's poor, fell in love with a beautiful African woman, and risked his life while in the employ of Reuters to make the world aware of the horrors visited upon the Somalian people by civil strife, vicious warlords, and the well-meaning but ineffectual efforts of the United States.

Is It Any Good?

Meant to inspire, and to acquaint audiences with an accomplished artist and compassionate citizen of the world, the film tells a true story, but without the depth and grit that would make it special. The Journey Is the Destination is a colorful portrait of idealism and talent without restraint, and a poignant tribute to Daniel Eldon, a young man who made the most of his many gifts. But, despite the fine performances and technical proficiency, the film doesn't have the impact the filmmakers must have hoped for. The origin and facts about the Somalian conflict are given short shrift. It's clear that Daniel was driven, but why? Quotes from his writing reveal the conclusions he's drawn from his experiences, but not how he came to those conclusions. Daniel's journey begins with his big heart, his passion for adventure, and an idealistic, out-sized view of what he might accomplish. Sadly, those very qualities contributed to his tragic end.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

Families can talk about the nature of the violence in The Journey Is the Destination . Since the movie is based on true events, how does your response differ from your response to fictional murder and mayhem?

Were you aware of the Somalian conflict that's at the heart of this movie? What is the movie's attitude about American involvement at that time? Where could you go to find the full story of the United States' impact on that war?

Often movies about people of color (e.g., in Africa, in the American South) use a white hero as the film's protagonist. What do you think is the rationale for that filmmaking choice? Do you agree with it? Why or why not?

How does this film illustrate the importance of communication , teamwork , and courage ?

At a crucial point in The Journey Is the Destination , when the young activist played by Ben Schnetzer is leading a group of friends across Africa to deliver aid to refugees, their commitment wavers in the face of serious setbacks. He turns to them, exasperated, and asks, “Did you think this was going to be a vacation?” It’s a fair question, but it also points to the film’s chief problem. For too much of its running time, Bronwen Hughes’ feature feels more like a hyper-ebullient travelogue than a biographical portrait of an extraordinary young man.

Though the movie struggles to find its protagonist’s point of view, Schnetzer ( Pride ) brings effortless energy and charisma to the role. Dan Eldon , American-British and raised in Kenya, has been the subject of several small-screen documentaries since his death in 1993 at age 22, his inspirational legacy kept alive by his family (his mother is one of the biopic’s producers). Eldon , whose many accomplishments include his hiring by Reuters as the news service’s youngest photojournalist, died along with three colleagues when they were chronicling tumultuous events in Somalia.

The Bottom Line More insistently celebratory than insightful.

In its look at the role of journalists in war zones, the drama is at its most incisive. Through Eldon’s eyes, Journey illuminates the ways that bearing witness can be a double-edged sword, playing into the hands of political leaders and affecting international policy with negative as well as positive results. Just as compelling is the way that Schnetzer and co-stars Kelly Macdonald and Sam Hazeldine avoid clichéd journo heroics while conveying the razor’s-edge adrenaline rush that drives frontline reporters and photographers.

TV vet Hughes, at the helm of her first big-screen feature since 2003’s Stander , wisely avoids backstory in the screenplay she wrote with Jan Sardi ( Shine ). The story’s in-the-moment forward motion suits the youthful gusto of its main character, who’s figuring it out as he jumps in feetfirst . But with the early sections’ overload of voiceover narrative, motion graphics and split screens, the director strains for exuberance. And despite the nods to Eldon’s (posthumously published) scrapbook-style artist’s journals bearing headlines like “Mission Statement for Safari as a Way of Life,” the effect is dismayingly generic and uninvolving . We get his adventurousness, irrepressible spirit and humanitarian convictions. What’s missing beneath the busy inspirational surface is the specific complexity of an individual.

Journey vs. destination: Motivation experts break down which one to focus on to reach your goals

New studies reveal how to use metaphors to motivate yourself.

Social Sharing

There's nothing more natural than using path- and travel-related metaphors. We've all spoken of "long roads ahead", "heading in the right direction", or "taking a wrong turn." Szu-Chi Huang and Jennifer Aaker , psychologists at the Stanford School of Business, say that path-metaphors aren't just a convenient way to describe our goals. They recently conducted six studies involving over 1,600 people who were pursuing fitness, diet, and educational goals and found that whether people focus on "the journey" or "the destination" makes a big difference to motivation and success. We reached out and asked about the differences between the two kinds of metaphors, and how we can use them to motivate ourselves at each stage on the way to our goals.

Journey versus destination

The destination is "like a dot on the map," says Huang, "It's the desired end-state of all our striving." If you're trying to lose 20 pounds, then 20 pounds lighter is the destination. According to Huang, thinking about the destination highlights the difference between where we are now and where we want to be: "Knowing there is an ideal state and they are not there yet, that gap motivates people," she says. It's not just the beauty of our goal, it's the pain of not yet having achieved it.

Journey metaphors, by contrast, "draw a line from your current state to your future state and illuminate what it looks like." Thinking about the journey calls our attention to all the things we'll need to do, the obstacles and milestones, the highs and lows along the way.

Starting the journey

Big goals can be exciting, but they don't come with directions. It's easy to say "I'm going to get into great shape this year," but that doesn't tell us what to do tomorrow. Therefore, thinking about the journey is especially important right at the beginning.

If you're setting out on a fitness journey, for example, Huang recommends prepping the same way you would for an actual physical trip. "What do we do when we're going on a trip? We buy the equipment we need: the appropriate shoes, the gym membership, whatever tools we need. We prepare by reading books or taking a course." Also, notes Huang, most people don't like to travel alone, so this is the time to find travelling companions with similar goals.

Focusing on the journey also "helps us to map out the milestones and sub-goals that we'll need to reach along the way." At the outset, focusing only on the final destination can be discouraging if we don't have a clear path to get there. Huang says setting out milestones gives us immediate direction, allows us to experience small successes along the way, and builds in opportunities to review whether our companions and equipment are still right for the next stage in the journey.

On the path to victory

According to Huang, whether we should keep our eyes on the prize or focus on putting one foot in front of the other depends on where we are in the journey.

In research for a 2017 article, she found that thinking about the destination can be demotivating in two ways. When our goals seem unattainable, "we tend to disengage because we don't like to commit to things that are impossible." This is especially a problem in the early stages of a journey when the destination is still far-off and we haven't proved to ourselves that we can hack it.

Yet we also disengage when goals are too attainable. "It's a tortoise and hare effect," says Huang, "Losing one more pound sounds simple and I won't care about it much, so maybe I'll just go grab a dessert." When a journey is going well and the end is in sight, small sub-goals seem less relevant and we start to slow down.

When this happens, "It's time to bring back that big destination." Huang suggests using visualization to help bring your final goal to life. "If I want to lose five pounds, I visualize the dress I want to look good in or imagine myself in a situation where my friends can compliment me on feeling so much fitter in my workout class." When we visualize things, it engages our emotions and makes it personally relevant. For Huang, saying she wants to "lose five pounds" won't do the trick, "A number is just a number. There's no emotion around it, no relevance."

How to keep climbing once you've reached the summit

When we reach our goals, it's normal to relax and forget about the long slog that got us there. This makes sense when our goals are limited in scope. But many goals are really about lasting personal change. As Aaker puts it, "The point of education is not the diploma, it's to keep learning in the future. The point of getting in shape is not to lose the extra five pounds, it's to keep the weight off and maintain your healthy habits into the future.… In this light, success isn't the short-run win; it's the subsequent activity that you adopt after you achieved your goal."

If we're trying to establish long-term changes, focusing on a destination that we've already reached might hurt our chances. We've closed the distance where we are and where we want to be that used to motivate us. This is why people tend to revert to their old behaviours once they've achieved a fitness or weight-loss goal.

The six studies on fitness, dieting, and educational goal that Aaker and Huang recently published revealed that, "Across each of these studies thinking about success as a journey helps people see greater change and personal growth," says Aaker, "which fuels them to continue eating healthily and continue learning after achieving their original goals."

The reason that focusing on the journey helps people keep up their good behaviour is that it reminds us of the distance we have crossed, the gap between who we were when we set out and who we are now. "When we have positive change, we want to hold onto it. We don't want to go back to how we were," says Huang.

It also helps us internalize the behaviours that we used on the way. As Huang puts it, "If I think about the journey, I feel like I've changed. I'm now the person who works out or is mindful about eating." And when the behaviours become part of her identity, Huang says "I'll do it with or without reward. You don't need to incentivize me and give me points for going to the gym anymore, this is part of who I am."

How do we take advantage of this powerful effect? When you've achieved a goal, take some time to reflect on how you got there. Think of the ups and downs on the way and link the behaviours that you used with the positive change that you experienced. To make this reflection more powerful, Huang recommends documenting your progress along the way. "Take photos if it's a physical change. Journal and take notes along the way, the more personal the better." If you haven't recorded your journey, says Huang, it's still worth doing. "Close your eyes and think for a few minutes about what happened last month. What changed in the last month? These are the things we want to make a connection to using this journey mindset." Either way, the key is to find a sense of positive growth and link it to the behaviours that helped you achieve your goals.

Reformation, like education, is a journey, not a destination. Mother Jones

Creativity is a journey, not a destination

The creative process is not like a situation where you get struck by a single lightning bolt. You have ongoing discoveries, and theres ongoing creative revelations.

Truth is a journey, not a destination

Knowledge is a destination. Truth, the journey. Terry Goodkind
Science is an intellectual journey, and to me, it’s not the destination, it’s the journeyto get there. It’s a way of thinking and it’s an intellectual curiosity, a desire to know how the world works, and to know what the fundamental principles of the world are, and to know our place in it. I think once we stop asking questions like what is the age of the universe, or how are the instructions of DNA carried out on a microscopic level, once we stop asking questions like that, we’re dead. Alan Lightman
Discovery is the journey; insight is the destination. Gary Hamel
One’s destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things. Henry Miller

Finding Joy in the Journey, Not Just the Destination

by The Enlightenment Journey ·

Understanding the Importance of the Journey

Life is a journey full of twists and turns, ups and downs, and unexpected detours. While reaching a destination may be our ultimate goal, it’s essential to understand the significance of the journey itself. The journey is where we grow, learn, and evolve into the best versions of ourselves. It shapes us, molds us, and prepares us for what lies ahead.

The journey helps us develop resilience, patience, and perseverance. It teaches us valuable lessons that we can carry with us throughout our lives. Without the journey, we would not be equipped to handle the challenges that come our way. It is a crucial part of personal development and self-discovery.

The journey is where we find joy in the process of becoming. It allows us to savor each moment, learn from our experiences, and appreciate the beauty of the present. By understanding the importance of the journey, we can embrace it wholeheartedly and make the most of every step along the way.

Embracing the Process of Growth and Learning

Embracing the process of growth and learning is essential if we want to find joy in the journey. Growth and learning go hand in hand with personal development and self-improvement. They push us out of our comfort zones, challenge our beliefs, and help us evolve into better versions of ourselves.

Embracing growth and learning means being open to new experiences, willing to take risks, and eager to expand our horizons. It requires a growth mindset, where setbacks are seen as opportunities for growth, and failures are viewed as stepping stones to success.

When we embrace the process of growth and learning, we become more adaptable, resilient, and capable of overcoming obstacles. We see challenges as opportunities for growth rather than roadblocks to our success. By embracing growth and learning, we can fully immerse ourselves in the journey and appreciate the transformation it brings.

Appreciating the Small Moments Along the Way

In our quest to reach our destination, we often overlook the small moments that make the journey worthwhile. These moments are the ones that bring us joy, laughter, and a sense of fulfillment. They are the simple pleasures that add color to our lives and make the journey memorable.

Appreciating the small moments along the way requires mindfulness and gratitude. It means slowing down, being present in the moment, and savoring the little things that bring us joy. Whether it’s a beautiful sunset, a heartfelt conversation, or a moment of peace and tranquility, these small moments are what make life meaningful.

When we take the time to appreciate the small moments along the way, we cultivate a sense of gratitude and contentment. We learn to find joy in the simple things and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. By paying attention to these moments, we can truly enjoy the journey and make the most of every step we take.

Finding Fulfillment in the Present Moment

Finding fulfillment in the present moment is key to experiencing true joy in the journey. Often, we get so caught up in chasing our goals and aspirations that we forget to enjoy the here and now. However, true fulfillment can only be found in the present moment, where we can fully immerse ourselves in the journey and appreciate all that it has to offer.

Finding fulfillment in the present moment requires mindfulness and presence. It means letting go of worries about the future or regrets about the past and focusing on the now. By being fully engaged in the present moment, we can experience peace, contentment, and a sense of fulfillment that transcends external achievements.

When we find fulfillment in the present moment, we no longer feel the need to constantly chase after the next big thing. Instead, we can appreciate the journey for what it is and find joy in the process of becoming. By living in the present moment, we can unlock a deeper sense of fulfillment that enriches our lives in profound ways.

Letting Go of the Obsession with the End Goal

While having goals and aspirations is important, obsessing over the end goal can detract from the joy of the journey. When we fixate on the destination, we miss out on the beauty of the path that leads us there. Letting go of the obsession with the end goal allows us to fully embrace the journey and appreciate all that it has to offer.

Letting go of the obsession with the end goal requires a shift in mindset. It means focusing on the process rather than the outcome, on the journey rather than the destination. By letting go of our attachment to specific outcomes, we can open ourselves up to new possibilities and experiences that we may have otherwise overlooked.

When we let go of the obsession with the end goal, we free ourselves from the pressure to constantly achieve and succeed. Instead, we can enjoy the journey for what it is, with all its twists and turns, challenges and triumphs. By releasing our attachment to the end goal, we can find joy in the journey itself and appreciate the growth and learning that it brings.

Cultivating a Mindset of Gratitude and Positivity

Cultivating a mindset of gratitude and positivity is essential for finding joy in the journey. A grateful heart and a positive outlook can transform how we perceive the world around us and enhance our overall well-being. By adopting a mindset of gratitude and positivity, we can shift our focus from what we lack to what we have, from negativity to positivity.

Cultivating a mindset of gratitude involves appreciating the blessings in our lives, no matter how small. It means acknowledging the good things that come our way and expressing gratitude for them. By focusing on the positive aspects of our lives, we can cultivate a sense of abundance and contentment that fuels our journey with joy.

Similarly, cultivating a mindset of positivity involves maintaining an optimistic outlook, even in the face of challenges . It means reframing negative situations in a positive light, looking for the silver lining in every cloud. By cultivating a mindset of positivity, we can overcome obstacles with grace and resilience, knowing that every challenge is an opportunity for growth.

Celebrating Achievements, Big and Small

Celebrating achievements, big and small, is a crucial part of finding joy in the journey. Whether it’s reaching a major milestone or accomplishing a small goal, celebrating our achievements allows us to acknowledge our progress and recognize our hard work. By celebrating our achievements, we can boost our confidence, motivation, and sense of accomplishment.

Celebrating achievements, big and small, involves taking the time to acknowledge our successes and pat ourselves on the back. It means recognizing the effort and dedication that went into achieving our goals and giving ourselves credit where credit is due. By celebrating our achievements, we can build momentum and stay motivated to continue our journey.

When we celebrate our achievements, we reinforce positive behaviors and habits that lead to success. By recognizing our progress and celebrating our wins, we can cultivate a sense of pride and self-confidence that propels us forward. By celebrating achievements, big and small, we can infuse our journey with positivity, motivation, and a sense of fulfillment.

Accepting Setbacks as Part of the Journey

Setbacks are an inevitable part of any journey, but how we respond to them can make all the difference in our overall experience. Instead of viewing setbacks as failures, we can choose to see them as opportunities for growth and learning. Accepting setbacks as part of the journey allows us to bounce back stronger, wiser, and more resilient than before.

Accepting setbacks as part of the journey requires a shift in perspective. Instead of dwelling on what went wrong or blaming ourselves for our shortcomings, we can choose to see setbacks as temporary obstacles that we can overcome. By accepting setbacks as part of the journey, we can learn valuable lessons, refine our strategies, and emerge stronger on the other side.

When we accept setbacks as part of the journey, we cultivate a growth mindset that empowers us to navigate challenges with grace and resilience. We see setbacks not as roadblocks but as stepping stones to success. By accepting setbacks as part of the journey, we can embrace failure as an essential part of the learning process and continue moving forward with confidence and determination.

Building Resilience Through Challenges

Building resilience through challenges is a vital aspect of finding joy in the journey. Resilience allows us to bounce back from setbacks, overcome obstacles, and adapt to changing circumstances. By cultivating resilience, we can navigate the ups and downs of life with grace and fortitude, emerging stronger and more resilient than before.

Building resilience through challenges involves developing coping mechanisms, problem-solving skills, and emotional intelligence. It means learning to bounce back from adversity, cope with stress, and maintain a positive outlook in the face of challenges. By building resilience, we can weather any storm that comes our way and emerge more resilient and empowered on the other side.

When we build resilience through challenges, we develop a sense of inner strength and confidence that carries us through difficult times. We learn to embrace challenges as opportunities for growth, knowing that each obstacle we overcome makes us stronger and more resilient. By building resilience through challenges, we can find joy in the journey, knowing that we have the strength and tenacity to overcome any obstacle that comes our way.

Focusing on Personal Development and Self-Improvement

Focusing on personal development and self-improvement is key to finding joy in the journey. When we invest in ourselves, we grow, learn, and evolve into the best versions of ourselves. Personal development and self-improvement are essential components of the journey, helping us reach our full potential and live a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Focusing on personal development and self-improvement involves setting goals, acquiring new skills, and challenging ourselves to step outside our comfort zones. It means seeking out opportunities for growth, learning from our experiences, and striving to become the best version of ourselves. By focusing on personal development and self-improvement, we can transform our lives and create a path to success and fulfillment.

When we focus on personal development and self-improvement, we invest in our future and set ourselves up for success. We become more adaptable, resilient, and confident in our abilities. By focusing on personal development and self-improvement, we can unlock our full potential and discover the joy of continual growth and self-discovery.

Connecting with Others on the Same Path

Connecting with others on the same path can enhance our journey and bring a sense of community and support. When we surround ourselves with like-minded individuals who share our goals and aspirations, we can draw inspiration, motivation, and encouragement from their experiences. Connecting with others on the same path allows us to learn from each other, grow together, and celebrate our successes as a collective.

Connecting with others on the same path involves building meaningful relationships, forming partnerships, and joining communities that share our values and beliefs. It means reaching out to others for support, guidance, and camaraderie, knowing that we are not alone on our journey. By connecting with others on the same path, we can create a network of support that empowers us to overcome challenges and achieve our goals.

When we connect with others on the same path, we create a sense of belonging and unity that enriches our journey. We can share our experiences, learn from each other’s successes and failures, and grow together as a community. By connecting with others on the same path, we can find strength, motivation, and camaraderie that propels us forward on our journey towards success and fulfillment.

Living a Life of Purpose and Meaning

Living a life of purpose and meaning is the ultimate goal of finding joy in the journey. When we live with intention, passion, and meaning, we can create a life that is fulfilling, rewarding, and truly meaningful. Living a life of purpose and meaning involves aligning our actions with our values, passions, and beliefs, and striving to make a positive impact on the world around us.

Living a life of purpose and meaning means following our hearts, pursuing our dreams, and making a difference in the lives of others. It means living authentically, with integrity, and with a sense of purpose that guides our actions and decisions. By living a life of purpose and meaning, we can find joy in the journey, knowing that our lives have meaning and significance.

When we live a life of purpose and meaning, we can create a legacy that extends beyond ourselves and impacts future generations. We can find fulfillment in knowing that we have lived a life of purpose, passion, and meaning. By living a life of purpose and meaning, we can find joy in the journey and create a path to a life that is truly rewarding and fulfilling.

In conclusion, finding joy in the journey, not just the destination, is essential for living a fulfilling and meaningful life. By understanding the importance of the journey, embracing growth and learning, appreciating the small moments along the way, and finding fulfillment in the present moment, we can make the most of every step we take. By letting go of the obsession with the end goal, cultivating a mindset of gratitude and positivity, celebrating achievements, and accepting setbacks as part of the journey, we can build resilience, focus on personal development, and connect with others on the same path.

Panthers' journey from NHL punch line to Stanley Cup champs

The Panthers fend off the Oilers in Game 7 with a 2-1 victory to win the franchise's first Stanley Cup championship. (2:13)

SUNRISE, Fla. -- Aleksander Barkov didn't just lift the Stanley Cup after defeating the Oilers in Game 7.

He lifted close to three decades of failures, embarrassments and frustration off the shoulders of the players, the fans and this franchise.

The Florida Panthers are Stanley Cup champions. Not a punch line. Not being mocked for meager attendance. Not wallowing in mediocrity, on and off the ice, as the team went 25 years between playoff series victories.

Oh, there could have been more embarrassment. Like, the most embarrassment. Florida nearly fumbled the bag against Edmonton, becoming just the third team in NHL history to blow a 3-0 Stanley Cup Final series lead to force a Game 7. They could have been the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI or Greg Norman in the 1996 Masters or the 1942 Detroit Red Wings , the only team in NHL history to lose the Stanley Cup Final after winning the first three games.

It would have been very "Florida Panthers" to have done that. But that's not who this franchise is anymore. They're not a joke. They're Stanley Cup champions.

It's wholly appropriate that Florida won the Stanley Cup against a Canadian team -- a nation that thought of the Panthers as either relocation bait or a team situated in a warmer climate in which to watch their own teams at significantly lower ticket costs; and that they eliminated the NHL-leading New York Rangers in the conference finals, the kind of esteemed Original Six team that is handed the respect the Panthers have clawed to earn.

Those teams came close to championships. The Panthers are the ones who finished the story, becoming just the third team in the past 40 years to win the Stanley Cup after losing in the Final in the previous postseason.

But perhaps most incredibly: The Florida Panthers -- the Florida Panthers! -- are now a prestige franchise in the NHL.

"It's pretty freakin' cool," defenseman Aaron Ekblad , who is second to Barkov in career games played as a Panther, said. "It wasn't easy those first few years. There was a lot of learning and growing. New GMs, new coaches ... that revolving door was tough, right? The fact that we're at this point now, where the expectation is to make the playoffs, and the expectation is to challenge for a championship, that's a really cool thing. I'm so happy to have been through it all with this franchise."

Barkov stuck with them. Ekblad stuck with them. And more South Florida fans than you'd realize stuck with them, from the rat-tossing mid-1990s to their Stanley Cup parade this season.

WHEN FLORIDA WINGER Evan Rodrigues was growing up in Toronto, the media covered only Canadian teams and winning teams.

"So I would say I probably wasn't focused on the Panthers too much," the 30-year-old said.

Fellow Ontario native Ryan Lomberg , 29, remembered how the Panthers were covered on social media.

"I remember seeing pictures of the empty arena. Seeing all the red seats and seeing maybe a couple thousand fans. Being a kid from Toronto, I remember not really understanding how the contrast [with other teams] was so extreme," he said. "It doesn't even make sense to me how it was back then. The second I got here four years ago, the fans have been amazing. We have a strong following."

Florida's attendance woes were a league-wide punch line, and the franchise did nothing to discourage it.

"In 2004, while I was at college in Orlando, I met a guy who was a Lightning fan while I was watching the finals at a bar," Panthers fan David Roth said. "I told him I was a Panthers fan, and he looked at me with a look of absolute bewilderment and just said, 'Why?' As if it were so foreign a concept to be a fan of a team in Florida other than the Lightning."

In 2006, the Panthers were averaging over 4,100 free tickets handed out for each home game. In 2008, the team introduced the "First Timer" program, in which anyone with a valid Florida driver's license could get two free tickets to a game.

In 2010, after LeBron James made his decision to take his talents to South Beach, the Panthers responded by offering season tickets in the upper deck for $6 per game, ostensibly in honor of his new uniform number with the Heat . Even that price point didn't generate enough sales -- the team announced that summer that it was going to tarp off 2,000 upper deck seats for most home games.

"When you go 25 years between playoff series wins, and then only make the playoffs a couple of times during that span, you lose a couple of generations of fans," Florida CEO Matthew Caldwell said.

Caldwell ascended to his position in 2016, having worked with owner Vinny Viola for several years.

Viola, who purchased the team in 2013 , is one of a handful of majority owners during the team's turbulent history. They were founded as an expansion team by billionaire Wayne Huizenga, who initially wanted to name them the "Block Busters" in honor of his video rental chain.

He sold the franchise to pharmaceutical businessman Alan Cohen and former NFL quarterback Bernie Kosar in 2001. Cliff Viner became general partner in 2010, and made two moves that would set up Florida for later success: Hiring former Chicago Blackhawks GM Dale Tallon as head of hockey operations, and tasking him with rebuilding through the draft.

When Viola took over, the real work began to repair the Panthers' reputation. It started with the way they ticketed games.

"There was a lot of comp tickets. Just all these gimmicks to get people into the arena," Caldwell said. "That doesn't work in the long term. It really angers your season-ticket holders when you're giving out all these freebies and promotions to people off the streets."

With the team's attendance struggles came constant relocation speculation.

"There were all these rumors that we should be moved," Caldwell said. "That this new ownership group was fixing it up and trying to relocate to Quebec at the time. Those were the headwinds we had to deal with."

The chatter got so loud that owners Viola and Doug Cifu wrote a letter to fans in 2014 to assure them the Panthers weren't relocating. "Our plan is to build an organization that makes South Florida proud and to win the Stanley Cup in South Florida," they said.

But even the Panthers' own municipality was fueling relocation speculation. Broward County did a full analysis of the Panthers franchise, and more broadly on whether or not there should be a hockey team in South Florida.

Apparently, the County found enough reasons to commit to the Panthers, agreeing to a new arena lease that put Viola's team on solid financial footing.

"It felt like a miracle at the time," Caldwell said. "But I think the county looked at it like, 'Hey, this is our last shot to see if the sport works here.'"

While the team was getting its financial house in order, Caldwell's next task was trying to energize a fan base that had sunk into malaise.

"When there's a fan base that's mad and angry and looking for a savior, that's actually a little encouraging. At least you know, they're out there and if you do the right thing, they're going to come back," he said. "The problem is that our fan base had become indifferent. There was still like 3,000 or so season-ticket holders that were loyal and wanted to see this happen. But a lot of the casual fans, former season-ticket holders, had given up."

Going 24 seasons between playoff wins will do that to a franchise. But Caldwell said getting their house in order off the ice was important for what would happen on the ice over the next decade.

WHEN THE COLORADO AVALANCHE celebrated their Stanley Cup Final sweep of the Panthers in 1996, they skated through an ever-increasing pile of plastic rats.

The rat-tossing stems from a legendary moment in 1995-96 when forward Scott Mellanby used his stick to exterminate a rat in the locker room before a game. He then used the same stick to score two goals that night -- accomplishing what his teammates called "a rat trick." To this day, rubber rats are available for purchase in the official Florida team store for $5 each, with the store selling upward of 150 on game days.

The plastic rats were symbolic of what the franchise had created in its third NHL season: tradition. The Cinderella run bonded hockey fans and minted new ones. A few days after the 1996 Final, the Panthers hosted 15,000 fans at Miami Arena for a celebration of that season's success.

The hopes were high that this was the start of something special for the franchise -- then they didn't win another playoff series until 25 seasons later.

"It was brutal. There were so many years in the wilderness," Panthers fan Scott Kandell said. "We always seemed to have one or two good players with promise -- like Nathan Horton, Stephen Weiss and Olli Jokinen -- but ownership's answer was always to bring in older players past their prime to try to create depth getting over the hump. And it was always with terrible results."

From 1996 to 2022, the Panthers had the 25th-best regular-season points percentage (.513) and the worst playoff record (13-29) in the NHL. There were exhilarating highlights during that otherwise moribund run -- Pavel Bure's back-to-back goal-scoring titles, Roberto Luongo's Hall of Fame goaltending -- but also draft busts, young players traded too soon and a string of underwhelming teams.

"It wasn't fun being the butt of attendance jokes (you know, when those jokes were actually legitimate), never seeing a playoff series, owners literally handing tickets out for free," Panthers fan Max Horowitz said. "It was all a huge bummer to see considering the beginning of the franchise had such immediate results and promise going for it."

When Viola purchased the team, Jonathan Huberdeau (No. 3 overall, 2011), and Barkov (No. 2, 2013) had been drafted. Ekblad (No. 1) would join them in 2014.

But success didn't follow right away. There were five coaching changes. There was an internal struggle between Tallon and the "Computer Boys" -- the moniker given to the data-driven front office by some members of the Canadian media -- that bred an inconsistent philosophy and bad decisions, like letting Jonathan Marchessault slip away in the Vegas expansion draft.

At one point, Tallon was demoted as GM in 2016, then reinstated in 2017.

But it was Tallon's presence in 2019 that helped the Panthers achieve an important turning point in their path to success: luring Joel Quenneville to coach the team. Tallon had previously hired him to coach the Blackhawks.

After Chicago fired Quenneville, the Panthers swooped in with a significant financial offer and the chance to work with Tallon again. He accepted .

"He was obviously a hot commodity at the time coming out of Chicago," Caldwell said. "When we were able to land him, I think a lot of people said, 'Wow, you know, Joel can go anywhere and he picks Florida.' We certainly offered a good contract, but other big franchises wanted him, too. And then we signed Bob."

Florida handed two-time Vezina Trophy winner and free agent goalie Sergei Bobrovsky of the Columbus Blue Jackets a seven-year deal , with an annual average value of $10 million, in summer 2019. In the past, the franchise struggled to attract free agents. Now, one of the top ones had chosen them.

Tallon was fired in 2020 after 10 seasons with the team.

"When we purchased the Panthers in 2013, we did so with a singular goal: to win a Stanley Cup. We have not seen our efforts come to fruition," Viola said at the time.

Florida had 23 interviews for the general manager job. Caldwell said they "scoured the Earth" to find the right candidate. They found him in Columbus: assistant GM Bill Zito, a former agent, was brought on to run the Panthers.

The team showed improvement under Quenneville, although they still couldn't advance past the first round.

And then, on Oct. 28, 2021, the Quenneville Era ended.

Quenneville resigned as head coach of the Panthers following a meeting with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman about his involvement in the Blackhawks' sexual abuse case.

An investigation by the law firm Jenner & Block looked into the allegations that former video coach Brad Aldrich sexually assaulted and harassed player Kyle Beach during the team's 2010 Stanley Cup run. The investigation revealed that Quenneville was aware of the situation and took part in at least one meeting regarding the allegations during the 2010 postseason.

Quenneville had previously said he only learned of the allegations in the summer of 2021 "through the media."

Caldwell said the Panthers' forward momentum as an organization could have been "100% derailed" by Quenneville's resignation, as he had two additional seasons worth over $15 million total left on his contract.

"We had this great coach and we were blindsided by all of it. We started the season 7-0 and then the news broke," Caldwell said.

Associate coach Andrew Brunette stepped in as interim coach , and led the Panthers to their first Presidents' Trophy with the league's best record. He also coached them to their first playoff series victory since 1996, over the Washington Capitals . But after the Panthers were swept out by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the second round, Brunette wasn't retained.

ENTER PAUL MAURICE .

He had resigned as coach of the Winnipeg Jets in December 2021, suggesting the team needed a different voice. He wasn't sure if he'd get another head-coaching job and was content with that.

Maurice was in the midst of "four phenomenal days of fishing" when Zito called him. They started talking hockey, and immediately connected.

"I was good, right? I had given all that I thought I had to give, certainly been fortunate in the game and received far more than I gave," Maurice said. "But there's just these strange little things that meant Florida was right, that it was where I was supposed to be next."

The Panthers hired Maurice on June 22, 2022. By this time, Zito was deep into shaping a championship roster.

His first move as general manager was a stabilizing one: trading for Penguins forward Patric Hornqvist, a Stanley Cup champion who ended up being a culture-developer for Florida.

Then came banger after banger: signing Carter Verhaeghe as a free agent; trading for defenseman Brandon Montour and winger Sam Reinhart from Buffalo; getting center Sam Bennett from Calgary; snagging defenseman Gustav Forsling off waivers, a player who Maurice recently said is "the best in the world" in the style that he plays.

Then came the big swing, one month after hiring Maurice: t rading Huberdeau and defenseman MacKenzie Weegar to Calgary for star forward Matthew Tkachuk , whom Zito called a "generational talent" after the deal.

"Our build was gradual, and then when Bill got here, it's been like a turbo boost," Caldwell said.

It wasn't just that Tkachuk would be a star player for the Panthers -- carrying them to the Stanley Cup Final last season and playing a vital role in their success in this run -- but that he committed to the Panthers with a contract that runs through 2029-30.

"I think we are all very proud to be a part of that culture shift. It used to be that players would come and kind of fade away and end their career here," Lomberg said. "Now it's where the big dogs like Matt Tkachuk want to come and want to establish themselves and build that legacy. So we're exceptionally lucky to be a part of the Florida Panthers and extremely proud to be where we're at."

For years, a laughingstock. Then suddenly a destination. Now, finally, a champion.

Matthew Tkachuk discusses how it feels to be a Stanley Cup champion following the Florida Panthers' 2-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers.

ZITO REMEMBERED THE FEELING after the 2023 Stanley Cup Final.

The Panthers had a miraculous run through the Eastern Conference: shocking the Bruins , rolling through the Maple Leafs and then sweeping the Hurricanes . But injuries and ineffectiveness had them fall short to the Golden Knights , losing in five games.

"I can tell you how rotten it felt going home empty-handed. How everyone had that feeling in their stomach," Zito said.

That dissatisfaction was reflected in training camp. "Paul's camps are really intense and a lot of hard work. You can't quit at any time," Barkov said.

Tkachuk's one-word assessment: "Brutal."

But Maurice said that it was about the players coming to camp with an all-business attitude. It was no longer about hoping to make a Stanley Cup Final -- it was expected to be there again, and just about figuring out the best path to get there.

"We have that bitter taste in our mouth still, and our mindset this year is completely different than last year, when it was a little bit 'happy to be there and enjoy the experience,'" Bennett said. "This year, it's all business. We have one goal in mind, and we're not going to be satisfied until we accomplish that."

One critical change in their mindset came because of injury: Ekblad and Montour missed the start of the season after surgery. That encouraged the team's leadership to rededicate the Panthers defensively. They went from 21st in the league last season in goals-against average (3.32) to tied for first this season (2.41).

The work they did in the playoffs against star opponents reflected that commitment. Through Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final, the Panthers didn't give up a 5-on-5 goal to McDavid, Leon Draisaitl , Ryan Nugent-Hopkins or Zach Hyman ; nor did they give up one in prior playoff series to Artemi Panarin , Chris Kreider , Mika Zibanejad , David Pastrnak or Nikita Kucherov .

"For as many offensive guys we have on the team, we're a defense-first team," Tkachuk said.

The constant in their defensive effort was Bobrovsky.

"It's phenomenal just to watch him work every day. He makes all these saves, and he's always in the right position it seems like during the games, and that's not by accident. It's because of how dialed in he is in his preparation," trade deadline acquisition Kyle Okposo said. "I think that's been the most fun part for me: just watching him every day and how it's translating to the games."

There was a time when Bobrovsky was seen as an overhyped, overpaid netminder who was crushed by the weight of his contract. Now, he's Playoff Bob .

Perceptions change. Just ask the Florida Panthers.

Connor McDavid finds himself one-on-one with Sergei Bobrovsky, but the Panthers' goalie snuffs out the danger with a point-blank save.

ZITO STARTED TO NOTICE the increased interest in the Panthers after last season.

"When I walked the dog the first couple years, no one said a word to me," he said during a media availability with Maurice. "Now the neighbor sort of knows who I am."

"They stopped calling the cops on you?" the coach asked, deadpan.

"Yeah," Zito said, laughing. "And you're starting to see more and more Panthers stuff. It's wonderful. It's really exciting for the game."

This is the moment for which Viola, Caldwell and the Panthers' ownership team have been aiming. This is the moment toward which Zito has been building. Florida winning the Stanley Cup is the culmination of their work to change the perception, vibe, personnel and success of this team.

"It's really nothing short of ... well, 'thrilling' is probably a little too much," Zito said. "But as someone who grew up loving the game and never having played in the NHL, to see the fans and to hear from your friends -- 'Oh, I went there and I couldn't get in because it was packed' -- is amazing."

Barkov has waited his entire career for it.

"It's the best time of my life right now. I'm enjoying every single day and making these playoff runs," he said.

The Panthers were 29-45-8 in Barkov's first season. They had two different coaches. Their leading scorer was Nick Bjugstad .

A decade later, they're Stanley Cup champions.

"There's a cycle in the NHL. That's true of the great franchises, too. We used to go into Chicago and there's 5,200 people in that building. Detroit for a while had to give away a car a game to get people to the game," he said. "Some of these phenomenal franchises. But they have to be built, and then I guess they have to be maintained. We're hopeful we're building it now."

Cup in hand, the Panthers are now faced with an equally challenging task: sustaining success.

"In sports, everything's about consistency," Caldwell said. "If you just have one good season, it's great. But the market's smart. They want to make sure that you're going to be good for a couple of years, you know?"

Panthers fan Jeffrey Alterman agrees.

"You know South Florida's sports reputation," he said. "We are a winning town. If you're winning, we are coming. So they have to keep winning."

Rodrigues feels the franchise has turned the corner. It's now a destination for players and will continue to be one.

"I think if you get the right people involved, and you build a place where people want to come, they'll come," he said. "Look at our new practice facility. It's state-of-the-art. If you're between a couple places and you come down here and look at our facility and then you're in South Florida, it's hard to say no to. I've really enjoyed it this year, and I won't take away, though, that winning is probably the biggest thing."

The Panthers have seen how fleeting success can be in the NHL, going 25 years between the rat-tossing euphoria of their 1996 Stanley Cup Final run to their next playoff victory. In between, they squandered momentum, wasted good faith and alienated generations of fans.

But they say it'll be different this time.

"Winning it is the pinnacle of everything we've been talking about over the last 10 years. I think we've already established a lot of credibility, but winning the actual Cup the first time in franchise history is the icing on the cake on everything that we've been building here," Caldwell said. "We've always been very clear that we won't stop until we bring a Stanley Cup to our fans. And we're not going to stop after that, either."

Why Turkey is the Best Destination for Your Hair Restoration Journey

In recent years, Turkey has become a leading hair restoration destination. The reasons include affordability and state-of-the-art medical technology, but also its beautiful environment. This article will discuss why you should make Turkey your choice for hair restoration .

Elite Medical Professionals

One reason Turkey has quickly risen to prominence as an international hair transplant powerhouse is that it is home to many skilled surgeons. Turkish medical professionals including both established doctors and those who are just starting–are all highly skilled in performing hair transplantation surgery. Due to internships and memberships in major medical organizations (which ensure that their standards for treatment are all of a high level), they keep up-to-date with the latest medical information and continuing education workshops.

State-of-the-Art Technologies

Turkey’s hair transplant clinics have been equipped with the latest technology. The use of high-tech techniques like Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) have dramatically changed the field. These procedures, which have minimal invasiveness, create hairlines that look perfectly natural and leave behind little scarring. Not surprisingly this only makes Turkey Hair Transplant services all the more popular.

Solutions for Everyone’s Budget

Affordable prices.

One of the most compelling reasons to choose Turkey for your hair restoration journey is that it is cheaper. Compared with Western nations, hair transplants in Turkey can save patients money by a wide margin. Despite this lower pricing structure, quality medicine is still as good as ever-in fact the lower cost of living and exchange rates also help to push prices down even more.

All-Inclusive Packages

Many Turkish clinics offer all-inclusive packages that include not just the procedure itself but also accommodation, airport transfers and postoperative care. These packages make things easier for international patients and give them peace of mind: the whole process is smooth–stress-free!

During a consultation, surgeons must understand your needs and expectations. By spending that extra time to listen, a treatment plan can be made that will implement the anticipated results.

Post-Operative Support

Post-operative care is crucial for any hair transplant and at this Turkish clinic, this is an area that excels. Upon leaving patients are given detailed instructions for self-care depending on where on the head or how many follicles have been transferred-or both. On top of this are additional services which include monitoring and continued support to help one recover in the best way possible.

The Perfect Mix Of Medical Tourism And A Vacation

A taste of turkey’s rich culture while receiving treatment.

The rich cultural heritage and historical significance of Turkey have made it an attractive choice for medical tourists. Patients undergoing a hair transplant can also explore its ancient ruins, stunning mountain and coastal scenery, or visit vibrant cities. Eastern-style restaurants, European-style museums and art galleries; with influences running deeply from east to west will afford you a thoroughly absorbing experience.

Superb Living Arrangements

Many hair transplant clinics in Turkey are in major cities. There, patients can live in luxury hotels during treatment. This mode of lodging often affords one stunning view and the highest-class of facilities. For example, luxury rooms and fine dining services are bound to see that the experience has an added dimension.

Safety and Regulations

Effective english.

The Turkish healthcare system is just the one you may trust when looking for quality and assurance. The Ministry of Public Health is responsible for watching embryonic development (new drugs, instruments, etc.) not only at hospitals but also in laboratories and medical research units nationwide. As proof to patients visiting a place to have hair transplants, this regulatory framework lets them do so with confidence.

High Success Rates

The success rates of hair transplant operations in Turkey are very high indeed. Skilled surgeons, modern equipment plus thorough patient care all contribute to these results. Patients can expect results that look natural and last a long time. Often this will significantly increase their confidence in themselves or make them feel more sure of who they are.

The Journey of A Lifetime

Hassle-free journey.

In Turkey, traveling for a hair transplant is made as effortless as possible with the help of clinic coordinators who oversee all Mevoca service PhP to buy. This includes arranging visas, booking flights and providing transport from the airport once you arrive at stunning Istanbul’s Atatürk or Sabiha Gökçen right down to your hotel door. Thanks to this approach which soothes away worry from surgery through the recovery phase, patients can be relieved of their anxieties and concentrate on preparing for the operation.

Exploring Turkey Afterward

Patients themselves may then go out to see how incredibly natural and lifelike their hair transplant results will be. Post-procedure, they have an opportunity to explore Turkey’s breathtaking beauty. Whether it’s visiting ancient cities like Ephesus with its alluring ruins or the majestic Bosphorus straits where Europe and Asia meet in Istanbul; cruising through these deep blue waters will produce a lifetime memory that’s much too rich for any single rendition on earth. Alternatively, travelers might choose from many beaches like Antalya whose sands gleam white and unbroken from aquamarine shorelines just barely lapped by gentle waves splashing lazily up and down as if hardly worth troubling the water’s peace. It is this rich variety of experiences that makes hair transplantation here in Turkey so worthwhile.

Turkey has world-class surgeons from around the world coming to help smooth female hairlines. It’s common knowledge among friends who have visited themselves, ‘When you want something done beautifully go there!’ Turkey stands out as the obvious choice for restoring people’s hair- irrespective of one’s budget.

Security Strategy

Ordr Use Case Series: Maturing a Connected Device Security Program – Zero Trust is a Journey, not a Destination

By Chris Westphal

If Ralph Waldo Emerson had been a CISO and not a poet, he might have said, “Like life, Zero Trust is not a destination, but a journey.” And he’d be right, of course. For all the love Zero Trust has gotten from zealous marketers who promise that an investment in their cybersecurity product will deliver Zero Trust, the fact is that enterprises are far too dynamic for any one product to achieve that state. In fact, Zero Trust is not a static state, but an ideal that must be as dynamic as the environment in which it prevails.

Dynamic Environment, Dynamic Tool

When Ordr talks about Zero Trust, it is within the context of the challenges of protecting organizations that are increasingly reliant on connected devices to manage and run their operations. Devices within the domains of the Internet of things (IoT), Internet of medical things (IoMT), and operational technology (OT) are, by their nature, dynamic. They connect to and disconnect from networks often, finding a home where they are needed. They move around and increase an enterprise’s attack surface as they aggregate and grow in number. That kind of changeability and complexity requires a security platform like Ordr that has the speed and intelligence to discover, identify, and secure every device operating in the network.

According to the FBI, healthcare was the industry most targeted by ransomware gangs in 2021.

This is especially important for healthcare organizations that rely on IoT, IoMT, and OT devices to manage their facilities and provide a high level of care to patients. These devices gather data, provide diagnostics and therapeutic functions, and automate activity at all levels. But those devices also expand the attack surface of the organizations that deploy them, and threat actors have been taking advantage. According to the FBI, healthcare was the industry most targeted by ransomware gangs in 2021, affecting more than 550 organizations, compromising the protected health information (PHI) of more than 40 million people, and inflicting financial losses of $6.9 billion.

Wisdom of Old CISOs

Standing up to the threat requires thoughtful investments in security tools that address the specific needs of each organization, backed by a deliberate and strategic plan that maximizes the efficacy of those tools to achieve and maintain a continuous Zero Trust posture. And as Emerson said Zero Trust is a journey, another famous CISO, philosopher Lao Tzu said the journey of a thousand miles to Zero Trust begins with a single step. Fortunately for healthcare organizations looking to protect their IoT, IoMT, and OT assets, that single step is one of five in a connected device security maturity model that Ordr has outlined in a new ebook entitled A Practical Guide: Implementing Connected Device Security for Healthcare Organizations .

Five Easy Pieces

Authored by Gartner veteran and Ordr strategic advisor Brad LaPorte, with close consultation by many of our own subject matter experts, “A Practical Guide” includes recommended actions, technical considerations, and helpful insights that complement each of the five steps of maturity for connected device security, which are:

Step One – Asset Visibility: a foundational exercise that must be launched and operationalized to discover and classify every device, and map its flows.
Step Two – Vulnerability and Risk Management: used to extend the capabilities of the organization to effectively see and know about all the devices present in the environment.
Step Three – Reactive Security: prioritization of activities necessary, such as blocking specific inbound and outbound communications to mitigate risks, risks.
Step Four – Proactive Security: establish automated policies to ensure rapid threat detection and prevention, and begin to implement proactive Zero Trust segmentation policies.
Step Five – Optimized Security: use of real time analysis and micro-segmentation to automate dynamic policy changes, scale protections reflective of an environment’s current state, and enable continuous improvement.

As you can see, each step in the maturity model builds on the previous step in sequence; there are no shortcuts. And the speed with which an organization progresses from Step One to Step Five will differ. It’s also important to recognize that, when starting from a place of no or incomplete connected device visibility, each step of the journey represents a significant improvement toward Zero Trust. And when a connected device security strategy is implemented and fully matured, it can be applied holistically across an entire organization or focused on multiple critical areas, in sequence or in parallel.

When starting from a place of no or incomplete connected device visibility, each step of the journey represents a significant improvement toward Zero Trust.

UP Tourism hosts 'Bodhi Yatra' conclave to celebrate Lord Buddha's journey

B ringing spirituality and rich heritage of Uttar Pradesh together, the Uttar Pradesh Tourism Department organized the ‘Bodhi Yatra’ conclave in New Delhi on Friday to commemorate the extraordinary journey of Lord Buddha.

The event highlighted Uttar Pradesh’s significance as a Buddhist pilgrimage destination and the tourism potential of the state.

Ambassador of Singapore, H.E. Simon Wong, Ambassador of Thailand, H.E. Pattarat Hongtong, Ambassador of Myanmar, H.E. Moe Kyaw Aung and ambassadors from many other countries like Bhutan, Japan, Indonesia, Argentina, Mongolia, Sri Lanka, Vietnam etc. graced the conclave reflecting India’s strong international ties.

In his address, the Union Minister of Tourism and Culture Gajendra Singh Shekhwat said, “India is not the land of war, but the land of Buddha’.

This holy land gave the message of truth, non-violence, kindness and compassion to the entire world and Uttar Pradesh is a prominent part in this legacy. The Prime Minister had envisioned creating various tourist circuits in the country. The first circuit in that is the Buddha Circuit. I want to congratulate Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Tourism Minister Jaiveer Singh that the UP government did important work to bring the Prime Minister’s vision to reality.”

UP Minister of Tourism and Culture, Jaiveer Singh said, ‘UP is the fourth largest state in terms of area. It is the largest state with a population of 25 crores and is equal to the fifth country in the world in terms of population. Fortunately, all the places from the birth of Lord Buddha to his education, attainment of knowledge, preaching and religious awakening campaigns and Mahaparinirvana (death) are located here.

Under the guidance of our Chief Minister, we are developing the Buddhist circuit propagating the strong historical, cultural and spiritual ties of Buddhism with Uttar Pradesh on the world map and attracting Buddhist pilgrims from India and abroad in large numbers.”

UP Chief Secretary Durga Shanker Mishra said, “Uttar Pradesh is cradle of Buddhism and this Bodhi Yatra is an initiative to make you experience the serenity and divinity of Lord Buddha. The significant events of Buddhism took place in UP and this event aims to promote these Buddhist sites on the global map.

“Working under the vision of our Prime Minister and through constant efforts of the State government and the Tourism Department, we have developed infrastructure and world class tourist facilities at these sites emerging as the top tourist destinations in the country Through our investor-friendly tourism policy, the stake holders can become a significant part of this transforming journey of Uttar Pradesh in the tourism sector.”

Speaking at the event, Union Secretary, Union Ministry Of Tourism V. Vidyavati

said, “ Buddha resides in the heart and soul of UP. Govt of India in collaboration with the Govt. of Uttar Pradesh aims to not only create a memorable experience for the buddhist pilgrims but also ensure the development and better employment opportunities for the local communities. We are also keen to enhance the infrastructure and amenities of Buddhist Museums in the state as they are a living source of history.”

In his speech UP Principal Secretary, Department Of Tourism and Culture Mukesh Meshram said, “UP has emerged as a popular tourist destination attaining number one spot in domestic tourism and we are hopeful of attracting a higher number of inbound foreign tourists as well in near future.”

He said, “We wanted to reveal the spiritual and cultural connection with different countries in South Asia and Southeast Asia and improve cultural diplomacy with the support of the Ministry Of External affairs and promote Foreign Direct Investment in the state.

“We have already allotted 02 acres of land in Varanasi to Bhutan Govt. for the construction of temples and guest houses. Through this platform we also offer all the other countries to invest in the hospitality and tourism sector of all these six sites and we assure you that we will provide all the mutual cooperation needed.”

Attendees were treated to a cultural show depicting the life of Lord Buddha, from his birth to his enlightenment and attaining Mahaparinirvana. It highlighted the foundation of Buddhism and celebrated its rich historical, cultural and spiritual connection with Uttar Pradesh. It also underlined how the Buddhist circuit is one of the favorite travel destinations for both National and International visitors.
