India’s youth account for one fifth of the world’s youth demographic. With an average age of 29, India has one of the youngest population globally. The country’s youth is being encouraged to build a culture of innovation, entrepreneurship, and inclusivity.
To take advantage of this demographic dividend, it is essential to educate and orient young minds towards learning and exploration. Tourism offers a great opportunity to explore India’s rich cultural heritage.
In a world becoming more digital and virtual, tourism offers the possibility for learners to increase their awareness and develop a broader perspective. Tourism as well helps young to discover their heritage which enables a deeper understanding of themselves and their cultural roots. Tourism Clubs are a step in that direction.
Vision
The vision is to nurture and develop young ambassadors of Indian tourism, who through thought, word, and deed would promote the cultural heritage of India. The focus would be to foster ideals which are in harmony with sustainable development.
Objectives
Tourism clubs are an important step in promoting responsible and sustainable tourism in the country as it aims to educate citizens of tomorrow at the grassroots level. Tourism helps in developing concerns for economic, social, and environmental issues which are crucial to reduce its negative impact. The major objectives of the proposed mission are to:
Enable learners to appreciate the importance of travel and tourism;
Ignite a passion for tourism and its value in learners;
Educate learners regarding the rich natural & cultural travel heritage present in our villages, towns, cities, and states;
Sensitize learners to various elements of travel;
Encourage, teach and propagate responsible tourism practices;
Improve physical & mental health through exploratory, adventure and sports tourism; and
Spread awareness about tourism opportunities at an early stage and encourage learners to be skilled professionals and entrepreneurs in the hospitality and tourism sector.
