Good morning to all, respected MD Mr VENU SIR, Faculties, non-teaching staff

and my dear friends.

‘World Tourism Day’ is celebrated on 27th September every year.

Since 1980, the United Nations World Tourism Organization has
celebrated World Tourism Day on September 27. At its Twelfth
Session in Istanbul, Turkey, in October 1997, the UNWTO General
Assembly decided to designate a host country each year to act as
the Organization's partner in the celebration of World Tourism Day.
The purpose of World Tourism Day is to raise awareness on the role
of tourism within the international community and to demonstrate
how it affects social, cultural, political and economic values
worldwide. This day is celebrated every year having particular
theme for making aware the people all over the world.

India has been chosen as the host country to celebrate World

Tourism Day 2019 on the theme 'Tourism and Jobs: A better future
for all”. We all know that Travel and tourism is a high-growth
industry that has the potential to create millions of jobs and boost
employment prospects. According to World Travel & Tourism
Council (WTTC), travel and tourism in India supported 41 million
jobs in 2017.
Tourism is a labour intensive industry with manpower required at
all stages. With the on-going boom across all sub-sectors in travel
and tourism – flights, accommodation, experiences and more – the
opportunities are set to increase. Currently, a major chunk of the
job creation within the travel sector has been confined to urban
parts of the country. However, as travellers begin to show interest
in lesser travelled parts of the country, there will also be an
increase in job requirements in rural area..

At the end, we can’t ignore the fact that tourism has become the
continuously growing and developing economic sectors worldwide
because of the occurrence of various attractive and new
destinations for the tourists. So, now it has become the main
source of income for the developing countries.

Happy tourism to all and thank you so much.
