Travel and Tourism is among the sectors most affected by this crisis but at the same time, Tourism can also be an integral part of the global recovery efforts. It is also a potentially large employment generator besides being a significant source of foreign exchange for the country. In the COVID 19 aftermath, countries will need to realise a new reality of the tourism and travel industry and make all efforts to shape the sector accordingly. Tourism Businesses will require a re-thinking of how they will operate in terms of hygiene, health and safety to ensure safety of their clients and staff. For this, the Indian government has realised the country's potential and taken several steps to make India a global Tourism hub. Some of the initiatives planned to boost tourism and hospitality sectors are:- Dekho Apna Desh Webinar The Ministry of Tourism in India recently launched its “Dekho Apna Desh” webinar to offer tourism virtually.

To answer this, our alumni and seniors who are doing great in their career have shared their views so that we have a perspective. Firstly, I would like to share the views of Mr. Lakshay Marwaha who is the alumni of our college whose thoughts were to excel in the field of hospitality industry where he could apply and develop his skills with fast faced and innovative company to pursue a challenging and rewarding career helped him to set his goals high because of which he is currently working as an OCER in THE OBEROI’S TRIDENT JAIPUR. Secondly, I would like to give an example of chef Mayank Kumar who is an alumni whose thought about this career was not just to make food in the kitchen he saw the hotel management career as a full package of management and technical skills which could actually help us in many ways. While talking of him I would like to share some of his achievement in his career so that you could relate with us that why his words should be taken into consideration. He is titled as chef extraordinaire 2020 organized by golden crown, winner of state level in India skill, runner up in north regional India skill; he was also entitled as student of the year by our college and many more. According to him the course of hotel management provides us various opportunity it is the matter of fact that we should grab it. he is been selected as an OCER in the OBEROI by due to pandemic situation he could not start his work now as he is waiting for his work to get start but as other, he didn’t stop wait for his chance as he said this career gives us ample opportunity and by following his own word. He started a business of helping other who are the starters in this industry by consulting them and he have also started taking classes on how to run bakery business from home during festive season and other occasions. Some of us might have thought about it but he did it. This career is all about grabbing knowledge and applying it in the practical life and by thinking practically our seniors like Mr. Saurav Yadav who gain his working experience from VIVANTA by TAJ and le meridian came with the idea of not sitting idly at home attending classes having a career goal is also an important thing as he is planning of having a hire qualification in this career with his job as he is in the last year and now it’s the time to follow his goals in the hospitality industry. All these are the different perspective of our seniors who are the part and some are going to be the parts of the hotel industry and by having such great opportunity in this career which are still not explored out I think having a career in this is a great option that we could choose for ourselves.
