In order to promote the culture of Sikkim and present it to tourists through everyday lifestyle products; which are authentic often referred as souvenirs of the place, Bagdogra Airport has collaborat­ed with SIKKIMIS, an off-shoot of B.R.E.W (Bakery, Retail, and Event &Workshop). Each of the products is inspired by some aspect of Sikkimese life allowing tourists to take a piece of the beautiful hills back with them.

Bagdogra Airport has an outlet of ARTMART, an art gallery where they promote local artists and display paintings on local themes, such as tea gardens, mountains and the wildlife of Dooars. All paintings are 100 per cent hand painted, as artists and communitie­s do not use any rouge techniques to make them – like canvas prints, canvas transfers, or painting on prints. The gallery not only creates a ‘sense of place’ but also beautifies the ambience of the airport. The airport proudly hosts an outlet of Biswa Bangla in the waiting area. Visitors to the showrooms are tacitly enlightene­d on West Bengal’s heritage art and craft forms.
