  • Karnataka Tourism Vision Group 2014 Report
    Karnataka Tourism Vision group 2014 report KARNATAKA TOURISM VISION GROUP (KTVG) Recommendations to the GoK: Jan 2014 Task force KTVG Karnataka Tourism Vision Group 2014 Report 1 FOREWORD Tourism matters. As highlighted in the UN WTO 2013 report, Tourism can account for 9% of GDP (direct, indirect and induced), 1 in 11 jobs and 6% of world exports. We are all aware of amazing tourist experiences globally and the impact of the sector on the economy of countries. Karnataka needs to think big, think like a Nation-State if it is to forge ahead to realise its immense tourism potential. The State is blessed with natural and historical advantage, which coupled with a strong arts and culture ethos, can be leveraged to great advantage. If Karnataka can get its Tourism strategy (and brand promise) right and focus on promotion and excellence in providing a wholesome tourist experience, we believe that it can be among the best destinations in the world. The impact on job creation (we estimate 4.3 million over the next decade) and economic gain (Rs. 85,000 crores) is reason enough for us to pay serious attention to focus on the Tourism sector. The Government of Karnataka had set up a Tourism Vision group in Oct 2013 consisting of eminent citizens and domain specialists to advise the government on the way ahead for the Tourism sector. In this exercise, we had active cooperation from the Hon. Minister of Tourism, Mr. R.V. Deshpande; Tourism Secretary, Mr. Arvind Jadhav; Tourism Director, Ms. Satyavathi and their team. The Vision group of over 50 individuals met jointly in over 7 sessions during Oct-Dec 2013.

  • A Geographical Study of Tourism Development in Karnataka State
    www.ijcrt.org © 2020 IJCRT | Volume 8, Issue 11 November 2020 | ISSN: 2320-2882 A geographical study of tourism development in Karnataka State Dr.Prasanna Kumar. K. R Assistant Professor, Department of Geography GFGC, Vijayanagara, Bangalore. Abstract: The term tourism is derived from the French word ‘Tour’ which means a journey from one place to another place. It is a movement of leisure time involving movement of journey or stay at new destinations. Tourism is a complex, prismatic and dynamic phenomenon. Tourism development is essential for economic growth, political legitimation, social integration and rural development especially in developing countries like India. It receives increasing attention as a major source for employment generation. With considering the significance of tourism it becomes a need of modern society and support to practices for sustainable development. Therefore, tourism is recognized as economically crucial and environmentally friendly activity. Tourism regards as a passport to peace and promotes spiritual development both at regional and intra-regional level. Tourism in the state has sprung up in recent past though it has a long history after liberalization of the economy, transportation, telecommunication, accommodation and positive government policies.It was observed that nineteenth century aristocratic people of Europe have organized institutional travelling for the sake of educational and experimental purpose.
