The Ministry has been actively working towards the development of quality tourism infrastructure at various tourist destinations and circuits in the States / Union Territories by sanctioning expenditure budgets across schemes like SWADESH DARSHAN and PRASHAD. The Ministry of Tourism has been actively promoting India as a 365 days tourist destination with the introduction of niche tourism products in the country like Cruise, Adventure, Medical, Wellness, Golf, Polo, MICE Tourism, Eco-tourism, Film Tourism, Sustainable Tourism, etc. to overcome ‘seasonality’ challenge in tourism.

  • Contextualizing the Role of CSR Initiatives in Preservation and Conservation of Tangible and Intangible Heritage of India: a Case Analysis of Public Sector Companies
    International Journal of Commerce and Management Research International Journal of Commerce and Management Research ISSN: 2455-1627 Impact Factor: RJIF 5.22 www.managejournal.com Volume 3; Issue 12; December 2017; Page No. 27-29 Contextualizing the role of CSR initiatives in preservation and conservation of tangible and intangible heritage of India: A case analysis of public sector companies Dr. Chandni Sengupta Assistant Professor, Amity School of Liberal Arts, Amity University Haryana, Haryana, India Abstract Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is defined as a concept whereby companies integrate environmental, social, and developmental concerns in their business operations. Corporate firms across the globe have clearly defined their CSR strategies. Most of these firms largely focus on areas of environmental sustainability, health and sanitation, women’s empowerment, workplace ethics, educational initiatives, leadership development, among other areas of community-centric work. Companies have taken keen interest in investing their resources for environmental protection as well as for enhancing the quality of health services. In India, multinationals as well as indigenous firms have been taking keen interest in CSR activities. Most of the firms in India have, like their counterparts in other parts of the world, developed a strategy for implementing their CSR plan. A major part of their strategy is focussed on sustainable development and environmental issues, and to some extent health, women’s empowerment, and community work. An area which has largely remained untouched by business houses is conservation of heritage and culture. Although some companies have exhibited a desire to invest in conserving the dying heritage of India, it has not been taken up as a critical area of CSR investment.

  • Tourism Geography & Map Work
    HAND OUT FOR UGC NSQF SPONSORED ONE YEAR DILPOMA IN TRAVEL & TORUISM MANAGEMENT PAPER CODE: DTTM C206 TOURISM GEOGRAPHY & MAP WORK SEMESTER: SECOND PREPARED BY MD ABU BARKAT ALI UNIT-I: 1.IMPORTANCE OF GEOGRAPHY: Geography involves the study of various locations and how they interact based on factors such as position, culture, and environment. This can involve anything from a basic idea of where each state is in the United States, to an in-depth understanding of the population density and economic stability of various countries. A thorough grasp of this subject has immense implications on the travel industry, specifically for those in the hotel management field. As an aspiring hotel manager within the southern California area, an in-depth education of geography would help me to understand cultural differences, travel patterns, evolution of tourism in the area, and new or non traditional destinations. An understanding of these various aspects of geography would assist in the improvement of my guest service practices, marketing strategies, and investment plans, which would in turn increase the popularity and revenue of my particular hotel. Though it is critical to have a general understanding of the cultural differences a location possesses when you plan on traveling abroad, it is equally important when considering inbound tourism within the context of the hotel industry. A hotel manager must have a strong understanding of not only the local culture, but of a variety of popular cultures around the world. For example, if I am managing a hotel near the Los Angeles area and I see that a large tourist group from Japan has booked an extended vacation, it is in my best interest to research the customs and traditions of Japanese culture.
