January
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.
