About Us

Tourism is one of the World’s largest and fastest growing industries. In terms of revenue and the number of people involved, it has become world’s number two industry next to Petroleum Industry. Tourism helps nations to earn a large sum of foreign exchange without exporting any tangible product. Besides, tourism provides employment to a large number of people directly and indirectly. Tourism is a multi-dimensional phenomenon that incorporates the Hospitality and the Travel sector. The Hospitality sector in particular in India is having a wonderful development. It also provides a great employment opportunity. Moreover, it is important for the professionals of both the Tourism sector and the Hospitality sector to have appropriate knowledge in each other as both the sectors are inter-twined with each other. In this context, it was felt that a course blending these two sectors will be of great help to the students in getting better placements too. It is sincerely felt that the Tourism industry also will greatly benefit from this.
