25 : India Tourism day
India Tourism Day on January 25th is aimed
at increasing awareness about tourism through
a range of activities. As an important sector
in the services economy, “tourism” is increasingly
playing a major role in contributing to
the overall growth and sustainability of
destinations and local communities by creating
direct and indirect jobs. Tourism brings
together people of different cultures and
regions and fosters better mutual understanding.
For doing this effectively and durably,
it demands conditions of peace. It is, therefore,
rightly said that tourism is the greatest
peace movement in the world.
